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