Is there on *nix? I don't know. I don't use *nix (though I sometimes use GNU/*ux, but I haven't needed to grep utf-16 files). > Using grep is an integral part of Emacs. Relatively speaking.

It's up to you to look for a grep that will grok the files you want to search. grep is not included with Emacs. > Yes, but that does not help if you have a lot of files you want to search= .
