Is there a way to do grep only within the open files (buffers)?
I did :he grep and bufdo but it didn't seem to give me the option.

Here's one I have in my vimrc:
" Do a :vim on all listed buffers.  To find "fopen":
" :Bufvim /fopen/

function! s:bufvim( arg )
 let a = ""
 let i = 1
 while i <= bufnr("$")
   if buflisted(i) && bufname(i) != ""
     let a = a . ' ' . escape(bufname(i), ' \')
   endif
   let i = i + 1
 endwhile
 exe "vim " . a:arg . a
endfunction

com! -nargs=1 Bufvim call <SID>bufvim( "<args>" )

Thanks.
