  26 ;;; Commentary:
  27
  28 ;; This mode uses the Keywords library header to provide code-finding
  29 ;; services by keyword.
  30 ;;
  31 ;; Things to do:
  32 ;;    1. Support multiple keywords per search.  This could be extremely hairy;
  33 ;; there doesn't seem to be any way to get completing-read to exit on
  34 ;; an EOL with no substring pending, which is what we'd want to end the loop.
  35 ;;    2. Search by string in synopsis line?
  36 ;;    3. Function to check finder-package-info for unknown keywords.
  37
  38 ;;; Code:
  39
  40 (require 'lisp-mnt)
  41 (require 'find-func)                    ;for find-library(-suffixes)
  42 ;; Use `load' rather than `require' so that it doesn't get loaded
  43 ;; during byte-compilation (at which point it might be missing).
  44 (load "finder-inf" t t)
  45
  46 ;; These are supposed to correspond to top-level customization groups,
  47 ;; says rms.
