Hi and thank you for supporting Emacs. It is cool that people do that
and I should get involved at some point.
It is not really a bug but an issue that has room for improvement.
When I type M-x grep, this is what I get.
Run grep (like this): grep --color -nH -e
If if try to add an option after the '-e', let's say '-R', Emacs thinks
the option is the pattern I am looking for instead of considering it as
an option.
In other words:
'grep --color -nH -e' with as following:
' -R foo bar' does not work. It fails to find the '-R' pattern.
' foo bar -R' works
If this has already been mentioned, then sorry for the inconvenience.
Cheers,
Benoit

We assume familiarity with grep options. The -e option of grep takes an
argument, namely the pattern to search for. You can either add your
option before the -e, or maybe you are interested in M-x rgrep.
I don't see this as an Emacs bug.

aka `M-x man RET grep RET'
That shows:
grep [OPTIONS] [-e PATTERN | -f FILE] [FILE...]

Oh, my bad. I though -e was an option not taking arguments.
Sorry for the noise.
