hi everyone, I am working in IT support, and occur (and even more multi-occur-in-matching-buffer) ist my tool of choice.

But I would like it to do more (because why not?) I would like to be able to ignore matches, if terms (let’s name them excludees) are found in the next 5 lines from the search string match or within a number of lines defined by a variable.

It would allow to save excludees as a list, and ignore certain matches when for instance the “ERROR” relates to a known bug, and we do not want to see it in occur searches any longer.

Ideally, this could be triggered by a keymap in occur-mode-map, (toggle-ignore-excludees), so that it is up to the user to activate it or not.

is there already a similar function that does it? How would you proceed to achieve this?

thanks for your feedback
