Hi, this is probably for Taco:

Is there a possibility in the source browser to search for macros (\something) or anything containing dots (logs.errors)? Because neither “simple” nor with Lua patterns I get any results.

E.g. I wanted to look for all trackers and/or directives.

To get a list of trackers and directives you can use

    \showtrackers     \showdirectives

in a document (the list appear in the log file and terminal) or you use the following two modules:

    context --global m-trackers.mkiv     context --global m-directives.mkiv

Thank you! While this was just an example for a search, I will include these in my book and somewhere on the wiki. I’m not looking forward to trying all of these options to find out what they do (and document it, of course). Hraban

Hi Hraban,

has it to be the source browser?

I mean, I use grep in Linux (MSYS2 in Windows [and brew.sh is available for macOS]) and it works perfectly fine with ConTeXt.

$ grep -irl fi[eë][eë] context context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/char-def.lua context/tex/texmf-modules/tex/context/third/lilypond/t-lilypond.tex

Althought regular expressions are fine, I don’t know why "fi[eë]+" doesn’t work in this case.

Just in case it might help, an oldie (the one i use):

Thank you – I found

grep -R "regex" ~/context

to be most easy.

But I like the source browser with its syntax highlighting, and it’s a pity that the search is so limited.

I usually use the new GitHub "Code Search". This works pretty well, although you need a (free) account to use it: https://cs.github.com/contextgarden/context-mirror?q=%5Cstarttext Sourcegraph should work pretty much the same way. I don't usually use it, but it has the advantage of not requiring an account: https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+repo:%5Egithub%5C.com/contextgarden/context-mirror%24+%5Cstarttext&patternType=standard Both of these have syntax highlighting and work with literal strings or regexes. -- Max
