Well! as I was looking at the programs I was updating on my fedora 9 box. I fell upon the program ack. I had no idea what it was so I ran rpm -qi ack... And it told me that it was a kind of grep replacement. It seems to be faster than grep in most cases. Some people tried it out it seems. Though some other seem to disagree.
One of the advantage of ack is that it allows to select more easily the type of files to be checked. So I guess I will have to take a look at it....
