Ok, I tried emacs -Q as well, but still I get the same list of files. > I use the locate source every day, so it should work. :) Maybe you > should try starting the locate process manually with start-process to > see if it returns the correct results.

I use GNU slocate version 3.1. The option -r has to be followed by the regexp to search, so locate -r -i foobarbaz will look for the regexp -i instead of foobarbaz. So the solution is to reverse -r and -i: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (defvar anything-source-locate '((name . "Locate") (candidates .
