6.2 Cross referencing by selection

Cross referencing by selection lets you perform a query and then list the results using the Xref buffer. Rec mode provides two such commands:

X s ¶

M-x rec-cmd-xref-sex

Query the current recfile using a selection expression and the current type and then list the results using Xref. Each results shows a small snippet of the matched record making it easier to identify which records matched the search.

X q ¶

M-x rec-cmd-xref-fast-string

Like above, but using a fast string. Instead of previewing the first three fields of a record, it shows each field where there was a match.
