Amazing. You are talking about entering the group spec, right? This parameter that you are asked for when you do C-u G G but not with just G G? nnir-run-glimpse calls glimpse like this: glimpse -H $h -W -l -y ... -F "$p;$g" $query $h means nnir-glimpse-home, $p means nnir-glimpse-remove-prefix, and $g is the group spec that you enter after C-u G G. It appears to me that entering `foo.bar' for the group spec will match directory names `foo/bar' as well as `fooXbar', say. But there is one difference between `t.awk' and `comp.unix.questions': the length. I think there is a rather short length limit on Glimpse queries. Maybe 16 characters? Or 32? Do you think that this might be the problem? I wish there was a way around this, but I don't know of one. Hm. But maybe I could use grep: glimpse -H $h -W -l -y -F $p $query | grep -e $g Do you think that this might help? Could somebody try this to see if it does? Another idea might be to use the keep-lines Lisp function to do the job of grep. This might be even better, since call-process might not be able to do the pipe thing. kai -- I like BOTH kinds of music.
