;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Functions to look up references in bibliography files given lists of
;; keywords, similar to refer(1).  I don't use tags since tags on .bib files
;; only picks up the cite key, where as refer-find-entry looks for occurrences
;; of keywords anywhere in the bibliography entry.
;;
;; To use:
;;      (autoload 'refer-find-entry "refer" nil t)
;; or   (require 'refer)
;;
;;      To look for an article by Knuth about semaphores:
;;          Invoke refer-find-entry, then in response to the Keywords: prompt,
;;          say: Knuth semaphores (a blank-separated list of keywords to be used
;;          as search strings).
;;
;;      To continue the previous search, i.e., to search for the next occurrence
;;      of the keywords, use refer-find-next-entry, or invoke refer-find-entry
;;      with a prefix argument.
;;
;;      If the list of bibliography files changes, reinitialize the variable
;;      refer-bib-files.
;;
;; To customize:
;;      See variables refer-bib-files, refer-cache-bib-files and
;;      refer-bib-files-regexp.  By default, these are set up so that refer
;;      looks for the keywords you specify in all the .bib files in the current
;;      directory.
;;
;;      The only assumption I make about bib files is that they contain a bunch
;;      of entries, one to a paragraph.  refer-find-entry searches paragraph by
;;      paragraph, looking for a paragraph containing all the keywords
;;      specified.  So you should be able to use pretty much any bib file with
;;      this code.  If your bib file does not use paragraphs to separate
;;      entries, try setting the paragraph-start/separate variables, or changing
;;      the (forward-paragraph 1) call in refer-find-entry-in-file.
