Plugin to integrate various Grep search tools with Vim
The grep plugin integrates the grep, fgrep, egrep, agrep and silver searcher (ag) tools with Vim and allows you to search for a pattern in one or more files and jump to them.
To use this plugin, you need the grep, fgrep, egrep, agrep, ag, find and xargs utilities. If a particular utility is not present, then you cannot use the corresponding features, but you can still use the rest of the features supported by the plugin.
These tools are present in most of the Unix installations. For MS-Windows systems, you can download the GNU grep and find utilities from the following sites:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/findutils.htm
If you want to use the Silver Searcher (ag) with this plugin, then you can download it from:
