The tags file doesn't contain information about where an identifier is used. It only contains the location where an identifier is defined. You can use GNU id-utils to search for all the locations where an identifier is used. You can search millions lines of code in less than few seconds using GNU id-utils (lid/gid). You can also use cscope to search for all the locations where an identifier is used. - Yegappan
