;;; Commentary:

;; Purpose:
;;
;;  Fast search for selected org nodes and things outside of org.
;;
;;  org-index creates and updates an index table with keywords; each line
;;  either points to a heading in org, references something outside or
;;  carries a snippet of text to yank.  When searching the index, the set
;;  of matching lines is updated with every keystroke; results are sorted
;;  by usage count and date, so that frequently used entries appear first
;;  in the list of results.
;;
;;  References are decorated numbers (e.g. 'R237' or '--455--'); they are
;;  well suited to be used outside of org, e.g. in folder names, ticket
;;  systems or on printed documents.
;;
;;  On first invocation org-index will assist you in creating the index
;;  table.
;;
;;  To start using your index, invoke subcommands 'add', 'ref' and 'yank'
;;  to create entries and 'occur' to find them.
;;
;;
;; Setup:
;;
;;  - Place this file in a directory of your load-path,
;;    e.g. org-mode/contrib/lisp.
;;  - Add these lines to your .emacs:
;;
;;    (require 'org-index)
;;
;;  - Restart your Emacs to make this effective.
;;  - Invoke `org-index'; on first run it will assist in creating your
;;    index table.
;;
;;  - Optionally invoke `M-x org-customize', group 'Org Index', to tune
;;    some settings, e.g. the global prefix key 'C-c i'.
;;
;;
;; Further information:
;;
;;  - Watch the screencast at http://2484.de/org-index.html.
;;  - See the documentation of `org-index', which can also be read by
;;    invoking `org-index' and choosing the command help or '?'.
;;
;;
;; Updates:
;;
;;  The latest published version of this file can always be found at:
;;    http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=blob_plain;f=contrib/lisp/org-index.el;hb=HEAD

(defun org-index (&optional command search-ref arg)
  "Fast search-index for selected org nodes and things outside.

This function creates and updates an index table with keywords;
each line either points to a heading in org, references something
outside or carries a snippet of text to yank.  The index table is
searched for keywords by means of an incremental occur; results
are sorted by usage count and date, so that frequently used
entries appear first.

References are decorated numbers (e.g. 'R237' or '--455--'); they are
well suited to be used outside of org, e.g. in folder names, ticket
systems or on printed documents.

On first invocation this function will help to create a dedicated node
for its index table.

To start building up your index, use subcommands 'add', 'ref' and
'yank' to create entries and use 'occur' to find them.

This is version 5.7.2 of org-index.el.


The function `org-index' is the only interactive function of this
package and its main entry point; it will present you with a list
of subcommands to choose from:

\(Note the one-letter shortcuts, e.g. [o]; used like `\\[org-index-dispatch] o'.)

  occur: [o] Incrementally show matching lines from index.
    Result is updated after every keystroke.  You may enter a
    list of words seperated by space or comma (`,'), to select
    lines that contain all of the given words. With a numeric
    prefix argument, show lines, which have been accessed at
    most this many days ago.

  add: [a] Add the current node to index.
    So that (e.g.) it can be found through the subcommand
    'occur'.  Update index, if node is already present.

  kill: [k] Kill (delete) the current node from index.
    Can be invoked from index, from occur or from a headline.

  head: [h] Search for heading, by ref or from index line.
    If invoked from within index table, go to associated
    node (if any), otherwise ask for ref to search.
  
  index: [i] Enter index table and maybe go to a specific reference.
    Use `org-mark-ring-goto' (\\[org-mark-ring-goto]) to go back.

  ping: [p] Echo line from index table for current node.
    If current node is not in index, than search among its
    parents.

  ref: [r] Create a new index line with a reference.
    This line will not be associated with a node.

  yank: [y] Store a new string, that can be yanked from occur.
    The index line will not be associated with a node.

  column: [c] From within index table: read char and jump to column.
    Shortcut for column movement; stays within one index line.

  edit: [e] Present current line in edit buffer.
    Can be invoked from index, from occur or from a headline.

  focus: [f] Return to first focused node; repeat to see them all.
    The focused nodes are kept in a short list; they need not be
    part of the index though.  This command visits one focus node
    after the other, as long as you invoke it in quick succession
    and without moving to other nodes; otherwise it returns to
    the focus node, where you left off. Finally, with a prefix
    argument, this command offers more options, e.g. to set focus
    in the first place.

  help: Show complete help text of `org-index'.
    I.e. this text.

  short-help: [?] Show this one-line description of each subcommand.
    I.e. from the complete help, show only the first line for each
    subcommand.

  news: [n] Show news for the current point release.

  example: Create an example index, that will not be saved.
    May serve as an example.

  sort: Sort lines in index, in region or buffer.
    Region or buffer can be sorted by contained reference; Index
    by count, reference or last access.

  find-ref: Search for given reference in all org-buffers.
    A wrapper to employ Emacs standard `multi-occur' function;
    asks for reference.

  highlight: Highlight or unhighlight all references.
     Operates on active region or whole buffer.  Call with prefix
     argument (`C-u') to remove highlights.

  maintain: Index maintainance.
     Offers some choices to check, update or fix your index.

If you invoke `org-index' for the first time, an assistant will be
invoked, that helps you to create your own index.

Invoke `org-customize' to tweak the behaviour of `org-index'.

This includes the global key `org-index-dispatch-key' to invoke
the most important subcommands with one additional key.

A numeric prefix argument is used as a reference number for
commands, that need one (e.g. 'head') or to modify their
behaviour (e.g. 'occur').

Also, a single prefix argument may be specified just before the
final character (e.g. like `C-c i C-u f') or by just typing an
upper case letter (e.g. `C-c i F').

Use from elisp: Optional argument COMMAND is a symbol naming the
command to execute.  SEARCH-REF specifies a reference to search
for, if needed.  ARG allows passing in a prefix argument as in
interactive calls."
