Documentation

Non-nil means, search all specified directories before trying recursion.

Thus, in a path ".//:/tex/", search first "./", then "/tex/" and then all subdirectories of "./". If this option is nil, the subdirectories of
"./" are searched before "/tex/". This is mainly for speed - most of the
time the recursive path is for the system files and not for the user files. Set this to nil if the default makes RefTeX finding files with equal names in wrong sequence.
