Re: How to search through all buffers?

[John Paul Wallington]

I misread `occur-read-primary-args'; this is cleaner:

(defun hanchrow-all-encompassing-occur (regexp &optional hidden-bufs-too)
  "Show all lines in all visible buffers containing a match for REGEXP.
With prefix arg HIDDEN-BUFS-TOO, show lines matching in all buffers."
  (interactive (occur-read-primary-args))
  (multi-occur (if hidden-bufs-too
                   (buffer-list)
                 (delq nil
                       (mapcar (lambda (buf)
                                 (unless (string-match "^ " (buffer-name buf))
                                   buf))
                               (buffer-list))))
               regexp))
