This looks neat but... does el-search-refactor actually exist? I am not able to find it anywhere.

It is right there in the article. Here it is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emacksnotes/emacsnotes.wordpress.com/master/el-search-refactor/el-search-refactor.el or https://github.com/emacksnotes/emacsnotes.wordpress.com/tree/master/el-search-refactor

Thanks, I see it now. I guess the use of that little link icon instead of the normal text anchor threw me.

Is there an actual reason to de-magnar your libraries? The main reason I use them is they provide some concise approaches to common operations. I get that later emacs have introduced similar functions but I try and maintain support for as wide a range of emacs versions add possible.

I guess it depends on whether you want to have less dependencies and support more Emacs versions, for the opposite.

If I am supplying functions for others, I generally like to keep the dependencies low, just use standard libraries built into Emacs, so I think this could be helpful.
