Ah! Very nice! I looked for them but did not remember the discussion 
exactly and could not find them. I thought I had misunderstood.

I think "(info) Searching with Grep under Emacs" could be enhanced a bit 
to point out that rgrep and lgrep are simplified UI:s. The reference to 
find-grep should be removed I think. Maybe just add something like

    `rgrep' is a simplified UI to `grep-find'.

in the listing in the beginning of the node?
