My notes are scattered across various org files. So I use grep (usually M-x lgrep and M-x rgrep) to search my notes. When I click one of the grep results (in the *grep* buffer), it leads to where the match is, but often the corresponding line is hidden because it is inside a folded heading in an org file. In that case, I need to press <S-tab> (org-shifttab) to cycle through global visibility levels to start editing the line. Is there a way to not have to press <S-tab>?

If all of the files are being added to your agenda, you can search
with "C-c a s <regex>" and the agenda view will show your results.

I'd also recommend the agenda's multi-occur search ("C-c a /"), which
displays all matching lines in the agenda and reveals them properly when
you press return.
In short, use "C-c a s" when you want to see all headlines containing a
word/regexp. Use "C-c a /" when you want to see the matching lines in
the results.

I have f9-v bound to visible-mode which toggles folding on and off for
the entire file.
YMMV,
