  • Recursively search for a pattern in the current working directory:
    rgrep "search_pattern"
  • Recursively search for a case-insensitive pattern in the current working directory:
    rgrep --ignore-case "search_pattern"
  • Recursively search for an extended regular expression pattern (supports `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`) in the current working directory:
    rgrep --extended-regexp "search_pattern"
  • Recursively search for an exact string (disables regular expressions) in the current working directory:
    rgrep --fixed-strings "exact_string"
  • Recursively search for a pattern in a specified directory (or file):
    rgrep "search_pattern" path/to/file_or_directory
