[Bug 1055766] Re: grep -R doesn't automatically search amazon

[J Cord]

I have had time to think about this today and I really am warming up to the idea.  The plan to upstream this to Grandpa Debian is wise and as I have sid on another hard drive I will check latter today for the fix from the debian devs.  Please though give me just a minute of your time.  I don't think this goes quite far enough.  Therefore I suggest including the Compiz Team  to  assist.  What I am thinking of is a Terminal Mall.  I would like the compiz cube .  The 2d terminal is so passe.  We could then by utilizing the 4 cube faces and top and bottom caps , a real  mall type experience.  This could segment different vendors to a particular face of the cube , I like organization.
For example hardware vendors have a plane, amazon ,etc, their own, google wallet , paypal, my bank (better Mark's bank) all on their own plane.  We should however keep one of the planes available for terminal commands so we can choose to or not to run the mall.  We could use the cube gears in the center of the cube mall and let the movie people have it to send ads with hypnotizing subliminal messages, this may help to finally make those people happy.  I know it's late in 12.10's cycle, but possibly with a big push , who knows?  

I have a name for this.  I would call it ubuntu gnome enhanced terminal
spacial planes asci mall.  We would shorten the actual command to  ' su
u-get-spam .  It must be run as root as I don't want Mark to have to
roam around root all alone.

Best Wishes

Bug description:
  Dear "root owning" overlords,

  When using grep recursively I only get local results:

  grep -R fish_t  /home/noob/fish_game/*

  /home/noob/fish_game/fish.h: struct fish_t {
  /home/noob/fish_game/fish.c: struct fish_t eric_the_ fish;

  or worse:

  grep -R shark_t  /home/noob/fish_game/*

  /home/noob/fish_game/fish.h: struct shark_t {
  /home/noob/fish_game/fish.c: struct shark_t_t mark_sw;

  I declare this a bug for two reasons:

  1. The output is boring.
  2. The terminal has more than 2 lines!!!  It's an unefficient use of my screenspace.

  I believe the reason for this is that the grep command only searches
  locally for things I am actually looking for, I kind of expect the
  results I get from my codebase and as such it removes any sense of
  mystery or something new and exciting to spice up my dull geek
  existence. That's boring, grep -R should also search amazon, so I get
  more exciting results such as:

  This is less dull and also maximises the use of my terminal and hence
  increases my productivity.

  Please can you change the grep warez to have this feature, and just
  install it on my machine while I'm down the pub, after all you do
  "erm, have root", so it should be easy for you to do :-)

  Thanks Ubuntu devs!!!
