  • I don't completely understand your question, but if you'd like to find definitions, then using LSP (via eglot or lsp-mode) is probably the way to go. For searching in the elpa dir I would suggest to just search the dir directly via ag.el (or even better via deadgrep) Commented Aug 21, 2023 at 9:02
  • Regarding Eglot, the original problem was that there is no direct logical way to go from a library to a project using it. But there is a supported workaround -- see the edit in the answer. Commented Aug 23, 2023 at 1:26
  • Regarding TAGS - yes, you could generate those files for the project and all references libraries. TAGS are less precise than LSP, though, and the setup which includes all dependencies could be a bit of a pain to set up, for a new user. Commented Aug 23, 2023 at 1:28
