<p>Thanks for the reminder of <a href="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/789" class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-url="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/789" data-id="120424862" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-permission-text="Issue title is private">#789</a>.<br>
Actually I searched this morning (UTC) for a recent version of grep for Windows but didn't find anything. So I ended up again with grep from UnxUtils but this time a slightly newer version (2.5.1) than the version 2.4 we shipped with Geany 1.26. That newer version of grep has the <code>--include</code> option so it should be ok, still it's very old.</p>

<p>Another option would be <code>grep</code> from MSYS2, but it would also require to ship some runtime libraries of MSYS2 as dependencies.</p>
