Grep commands are described in the node `Grep Searching' but their
headings currently are located in the node `Compilation'.
This diverges from the documentation standard where nodes start with
headings containing a command name and short description, and the rest
of the node provides more complete description.
Even though grep-mode is based on compilation-mode, this fact is
already mentioned in the beginning of `Grep Searching', and any
mention of grep in the node `Compilation' is irrelevant.

@node Grep Searching
@section Searching with Grep under Emacs
- @findex grep
Just as you can run a compiler from Emacs and then visit the lines
with compilation errors, you can also run @code{grep} and
then visit the lines on which matches were found. This works by
treating the matches reported by @code{grep} as if they were ``errors.''
! To do this, type @kbd{M-x grep}, then enter a command line that
specifies how to run @code{grep}. Use the same arguments you would give
@code{grep} when running it normally: a @code{grep}-style regexp
(usually in single-quotes to quote the shell's special characters)
