;;; 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 from your load-path,
;;    e.g. org-mode/contrib/lisp.
;;
;;  - Add these lines to your .emacs:
;;
;;    (require 'org-index)
;;    (org-index-default-keybindings)   ; optional
;;
;;  - Maybe restart your Emacs to make these lines effective.
;;
;;  - Invoke `org-index'; on first run it will assist in creating your
;;    index table.
;;
;;  - Optionally invoke `M-x org-customize' to tune some settings (choose
;;    group org-index).
;;
;;
;; 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 help-command.
;;
;;
;; Updates:
;;
;;  The latest published version of this file can always be found at:

(defun org-index (&optional command search-ref arg)
  "Fast search index 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.  The index table is searched for
keywords through an incremental occur; results are sorted by usage
count and date, so that frequently used entries appear first among
the 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 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 5.0.2 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:

  occur: Incremental search, that shows matching lines from the
    index table.  It 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.

  add: Add the current node to your index, so that it can be
    found through the subcommand \"occur\". Update index,
    if node is already present.

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

  head: Ask for a reference number and search for this heading.

  index: Enter index table and maybe go to a specific reference;
    use `org-mark-ring-goto' (\\[org-mark-ring-goto]) to go back.

  ping: Echo line from index table for current node or first of
    its ancestors from index.

  ref: Create a new index line with a reference.

  yank: Store a new string, that can be yanked when an index row
    is chosen during occur.

  column: If within index table, read another character and jump
    to specified column.

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

  help: Show this text.

  example: Create a temporary index, that will not be saved, but
    may serve as an example.

  sort: Sort lines in index, in region or buffer by contained
    reference, or sort index by count, reference or last access.

  multi-occur: Apply Emacs standard `multi-occur' operation on all
    `org-mode' buffers to search for the given reference.

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

  maintain: 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.
Call `org-index-default-keybindings' from within your init-file
to establish convenient keyboard shortcuts.

A numeric prefix argument is used as a reference number for
commands, that need one (e.g. 'head').

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."
