Hi,
How can I pass the output of globalff to emacs-dired. Essentially I am looking for something corresponding to find-name-dired that works with output of globalff.

+1  A: 

I just tried it. I have a directory named WebServiceHost, and I typed

M-x globalff RET webservicehost RET

and it displayed that directory's name -- along with all the files inside it -- in the *globalff* buffer. Happily, the directory was the selected item, so I just hit RET, and Emacs then showed me the dired buffer for that directory.

Thats not what I was looking for. I wanted all the output of globalff to be displayed in dired-mode. Essentially I have a bunch of files in directory and sub-directories that I would like it to be displayed. Find-dired turns out to be quite slow.

I suspect there's nothing like that built in; try asking on the emacs mailing list.
