If you look at the help for rgrep, it mentions grep-files-aliases. You can add aliases. Click "customize" and hopefully it will be simple enough for you to add to it. Then specify the new alias in the 2nd prompt. > 2) where/how to change the default string Not clear which default string you are referring to. The default for the files to search changes (somehow) based upon the current buffer.
