I looked at the sourceforge page for taglist.vim. That doesn't really
look like what I'm after. That is a code browser and I'm looking for a
directory tree.

I'm sure there are a number of others, too.

From what I've read so far I don't see how tags do what I want to do.
I want to search thorough many different files with various languages
and doc files for a particular string. Tags seem related to a
particular language and wouldn't do that.
Which particular language? You can generate a tags file for almost
anything. Exuberant ctags for starters, which is general purpose for
many languages, and there's also things like ptags.py, rtags, etc.
Tags files are plain text, which means you can aggregate them and
manipulate them easily any way you want. (e.g., scripting).
Cheers,
hanu
