Since the --nearness is just a sort option, it is independent of type of search,

I believe. It is helpful if you send a bug report about this to address@hidden.

Thank you in advance.

I find the NEARNESS support to be very helpful in that where one has multiple definitions of the same token  NEARNESS more often then not find the definition I am interested in.

I note that NEARNESS feature does not work with -r as "--from-here" does not support the -r option. Is it possible to extend to get this support? I have  a system in which I have 10s of definitions of type:

ModuleA_filterThings(){}
ModuleB_filterThings(){}

I call these methods by reference, in code I have something like:

    r->filterThings();  

where correct function pointer has been set so that in typically the "nearest" ModuleX_filterThings() would be correct definition.

At present doing a regex search for "filterThings" does not respect nearness order, is it too difficult to get this?
