I use rgrep, it's reasonably fast. Found it on rufus.w3.org, though I
could only find RPMs from Red Hat. It takes no modifications to install
the rgrep-0.98.7-1 and slang-1.2.2-3 RPMs under SuSE.
You might want to take a look at Glimpse as well. It's useful for a
much smaller subset of text searching problems, but it's much, much
faster.
