Re:Finding your way in vim: tags, cscope, grep and more by gilgad13 on Thursday July 28, 2011 @10:09AM (#2816838)
If you search from inside vim, it will load the results into the quickfix list. This means that it jumps you to the first result, and `:cn` and `:cp` will take you to the next and previous results, respectively.

This is much easier than searching in a terminal, noting the first filename (which may be buried in some directory), opening it in vim, then jumping/scrolling down to the relevant line.
