Also, there's a tool called cscope [1].
There are also occurences of coccigrep [2] in the kernel.

Responding to all responses in single email. Thanks for the
responses. Apologies, I need to learn to be more explicit when asking
questions to be more respectful of other peoples time.

I already use grep (various versions, git grep, egreg, and ack).

I also already use ctags in emacs (or is it called etags when in emacs).

I [too] often still find myself going to

http://elixir.free-electrons.com

I just attempted to recreate an example search that fails using grep or
ctags but was unable to. Perhaps the problem is a user error, i.e I come
across a code search that is not fully serviced by grep/ctags, go to
free-electros, then go back to it from habit only later realizing that I
am doing so when I get annoyed with having to use a web browser.

So, thank you for your ideas. I'll consider this issue resolved by;

Use git grep
Use ctags/etags
Use free-electrons as a last resort

thanks,
Tobin.
