Well you can use an external grep from within vim.
One advantage is that it's relatively fast and you
can use the quickfix window. An inconvenient is
that you can't use vim regex.
:h grep
:h grepprg
If you have vim 7, then you can use vimgrep.
:h vimgrep
If your project is large, you could also use an
indexing program like "glimpse". See

Hi,
I read the help. But I still don't see how to search in all the *.h
and *.cc in a certain directory. Do I have to rely on the external
command "find"?
Thanks,
Peng
To search for the word "word" (without quotes, but as an integral word) using
Vim 7:
(a) in all *.c, *.cpp and *.h files in the current directory but not below:
:vimgrep /\<word\>/g *.cpp *.[ch]
(b) the same, but recurse into subdirectories:
:vimgrep /\<word\>/g ./**/*.cpp ./**/*.[ch]
If *.[ch] doesn't work on your system, replace it by *.c *.h
Best regards,
Tony.
