thanks for the pointer. Actually I had tried to used the code in that
page but it was giving me "Error 127", but then I realized I already
have that version defined in counsel.el in my distribution of
ivy/swiper. Now I manage to get it working, but I don't like the result
too much since I get a dynamic list of files that match my query, but
without any context, and then I have to open one by one and do a search
inside the file. It looks like:

What I would like is something more like what you get in the Recoll GUI
(or, for example, when you do a multi-occur search), where you get a
buffer with the files matching, together with some context and an easy
way to open a particular file at the point where the match was
found. Something like:

Any ideas?
Many thanks,
