Would a search tool other than grep change how you write code?

Probably not. I just said "grep" because it's such a basic standard, I really meant "easily searchable from a command line."

What about a syntax-aware search? If this were as responsive as grep, wouldn't that be better? I think so. I use one in Smalltalk all the time.
