Because I am too lazy to learn and try out the TAGS features in Emacs
(I have used Emacs since 1997 and never tried that out...) I use C-s
C-w instead. It might take a few more keystrokes (keep typing C-s to
find the correct place) and it might sometimes find too many
occurances, but it works quite well.
