Glimpse is a powerful indexing and query system, free for personal use. http://www.webglimpse.net VimGlimpse is a basic Glimpse interface within Vim, based on a Vim Tip from Jean-Rene David. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Use_glimpse_from_within_Vim VimGlimpse retains normal Vim :grep functionality, and provides additional Glimpse features outside of what :grepprg can allow.  By default, VimGlimpse only searches within your current working directory, making it ideal for near instantaneous searches across a project. Examples:     :Glimpse porksausage Find porksausage across all files in the current working directory.     :Glimpse needle haystack.h$ Finds all needles in all haystack.h's files. :let g:glimpseFlags = "-iny -2" :Glimpse Anestesiology html Outputs all occurrences of  Anestesiology  with  two  errors  in files with html somewhere in their full name. :Glimpse windsurfing;Arizona mail;1993 Finds  all lines containing windsurfing and Arizona in all files having `mail' and '1993' somewhere in their full name. Results are placed into the |quickfix| window.  Additionally, the 'q' key is bound to the window so you can close it again quickly.
