   Tags-search necessarily often visits a lot of unvisited files;
   it should kill off the buffers for such files if it doesn't find the
   searched-for string, before going on to the next file.

Sounds like the way tags-search worked in the old TECO emacs where
memory space was at a premium.  Unless you set Q$Tags Find File$ to
some magic value that now escapes me, it did MM Visit File$ in a
buffer called *Tags Search* instead of doing MM Find File$.

If your change is implemented it should be an option, not mandatory
behavior.  If you've never tried running tags-search via ange-ftp to a
machine on the other side of the country, just take my word for it,
you do *not* want to flush all those buffers after just one use.
