Dear "root owning" overlords, When using grep recursively I only get local results: grep -R fish_t /home/noob/fish_game/* /home/noob/fish_game/fish.h: struct fish_t { /home/noob/fish_game/fish.c: struct fish_t eric_the_ fish; or worse: grep -R shark_t /home/noob/fish_game/* /home/noob/fish_game/fish.h: struct shark_t { /home/noob/fish_game/fish.c: struct shark_t_t mark_sw; I declare this a bug for two reasons: 1. The output is boring. 2. The terminal has more than 2 lines!!! It's an unefficient use of my screenspace. I believe the reason for this is that the grep command only searches locally for things I am actually looking for, I kind of expect the results I get from my codebase and as such it removes any sense of mystery or something new and exciting to spice up my dull geek existence. That's boring, grep -R should also search amazon, so I get more exciting results such as: Shark Season 1 Starring Steven Eckholdt, Nora Dunn, Patrick Fabian, et al.

Please can you change the grep warez to have this feature, and just install it on my machine while I'm down the pub, after all you do "erm, have root", so it should be easy for you to do :-)
