Thanks.  Just had a quick glance at the NEdit implementation and I think
I'll give it a spin.  Btw, I'm writing the TextPad add-in in C++ (my native
tongue), but the tagging is currently used for mostly Java source.

Does it make sense to make a portable library for this kind of stuff?  Maybe
it makes more sense to define an XML schema that can searched by XML
libraries (SAX, XMLDOM)?  This is related to an earlier thread about
generating XML from tags.

Glenn,
depending on your language preference, I found the tags search
implementation in NEdit very comprehensive and it is fast. 

I, myself implemented something for KDevelop, but that is in C++ and
depends on Qt.
