Re: [External] : Re: Search multiple Info-buffers at once with Info-occur function

[dalanicolai]

First of all, thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

Obviously, I do prefer to contribute to Emacs directly so that the maximum number of users will profit from it.

So for that reason I will send my proposals directly to this mailing list.

Of course, your advice and opinions about my implementation proposals continue to be very welcome.

FYI, I've now added the ability to choose the manuals
to search on the fly, by using a non-positive prefix
arg with `info-apropos'.  This ignores option
`Info-apropos-manuals'.

I've left the default value of that option as `all',
so the default behavior of `info-apropos' is the same
as for vanilla Emacs.  But with `all' it can take a
while to search all manuals.  A better default might
be the list ("emacs" "elisp") - dunno.

[It would be trivial for Emacs to pick up the Info+
definitions of `info-apropos' etc., but that's not
for me to decide.  It could also just do something
similar, i.e., solve the problem differently.]

HTH.

As Eli noted, don't send suggestions about Info+ to
the Emacs bug or dev mailing list.  Send them to me.
(If you use `M-x customize-group Info-Plus' then you
can click link `Send Bug Report'.)
