Multiple search results, without overwriting old ones (multiple tabs)

[maciejkowalski]

Hi!

Is there a possibility to view multiple search results without overwriting old ones (different tabs)?

eg I search :Ag "float: right;" I see search results

I open new tab: next I type :Ag sentences_hb And got next search results

But my old ones (for float: right) results are gone (in previous tab).

Is it possible to implement that?

C'mon. Bump. (edited and added more info)

Have you tinkered with a patch (or proof of concept) to make this work?

I'm not online much, lately.

Wouldn't this be as simple as using the location-list instead of the (default) error list? Also, :help quickfix-error-lists seems like it might be useful here.

Hmm... it looks like there are multiple lists... but we'd have to remember which windows corresponded to each list and do something like :colder when switching windows, and that would only support up to 10 different error lists.
