Thanks! That sounds like its on the right track for me.

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).
I'll look into this more. Thanks. I think this is the most important feature for me if I'm going leave Textmate behind. I can't really imagine having a lesser solution for project-wide search without a big slowdown in my work. Thanks again, Peter
