Well, since this is attached to Ayatana-Design it cannot be closed with
a WONTFIX due to the way Ayatana-Design is configured on Launchpad.

Due to the way Ayatana-Design is configured, this cannot be converted to
a question where it truly belongs either.

An INCOMPLETE would let it close by itself in 60 days but nobody will be
likely to leave it in that status for 60 days let alone let is sit
quietly for 60 days.

This horse has been flogged and is now rather dead.  This is a wishlist
item in the end.  Since this won't die, somebody should at least look at
https://developer.amazon.com/ to see what their API at least allows to
have done with it perhaps.

Bug description:
  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:

  d:fi d:struct 2.65 oz by AMERICAN CREW 

  This is less dull and also maximises the use of my terminal and hence
  increases my productivity.

  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 :-)

  Thanks Ubuntu devs!!!
