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:

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!!!
