One of the first lessons to learn about Emacs is that the right question is
not *whether* some feature is supported--it always is--but rather *how* do
you achieve the desired effect.

For example, if you need Brief emulation, type "M-x crisp-mode RET".

There's an add-on package that does that, but unfortunately I don't remember
its name.

You want "C-x 2" and "C-x 3".

Try "M-x highlight-changes-mode RET".

Try "M-x grep RET", and then click mouse-2 on any hit shown in the *grep*
buffer.

I don't understand what's not good about "M-x grep".
