ack-grep "is designed as a replacement for 99% of the uses of grep." On my

./keys/dir:/etc/ssh/keys-root/authorized_keys
Other versions of grep don't support that, so it
Can someone point me to a program or method that will search the files on the
hard drive for a character string. I use locate for a filename string but I do
