If one or more directory is selected | grep will search in all files of these directories. | You can also use wildcard in the base name of candidate. | If a prefix arg is given use the -r option of grep (recurse). | The prefix arg can be passed before or after start file selection. | See also `helm-do-grep-1'. `---- is very good at this. -- cheers, Thorsten
