as there are so many files, i want to be able do the partial search
and display
the possible matching entries. with tags it doesn't seem to be
possible.
and adding the dirctories recursively to vim might take long time for
the
search. is there anyother better way of doing this than the one
mentioned in my
original post.
thanks
