reftex-search-document is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in 
`reftex-global'.
[Arg list not available until function definition is loaded.]

Regexp search through all files of the current TeX document.

ffap is an alias for `find-file-at-point' in `ffap.el'.
(ffap &optional FILENAME)

Find FILENAME, guessing a default from text around point.
If `ffap-url-regexp' is not nil, the FILENAME may also be an URL.
With a prefix, this command behaves exactly like `ffap-file-finder'.
If `ffap-require-prefix' is set, the prefix meaning is reversed.
See also the variables `ffap-dired-wildcards', `ffap-newfile-prompt',
and the functions `ffap-file-at-point' and `ffap-url-at-point'.
