Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything?

Guess why all top sites have 10 pages of garbage explaining the history of windows and linux and what an OS is when you just want to know how to use grep…

Manpages are a thing? And you can search for man grep.
It’s the best mansplaining around….

A list of what the command line switches do is completely different from how to use them to solve a problem.
There are entire books written about regex.

You can also search ‘grep examples’

Yeah, I was only making fun of the poster who derided googling grep by saying “use man”.
Grep is so expansive that saying “use man” to learn grep is not much more help than saying use “man gcc” to learn how to write a c program.

You made a different point just then too… man grep won’t tell you when you should be using sed or egrep… although the manpage does reference them at the end.
