Looks like I spoke too soon, sorry. Although it does look like a
handy tool for searching from the command line,  the output format
doesn't really fit very well with Geany's find in files output.
(Someone who knows Perl could probably make it work quite easily.)

But it does bring up the idea for some sort of tool to allow for
more fine-grained search options, maybe a plugin or simply a
program (or wrapper) to use instead of grep.

Personally, I am already accustomed to using find+grep from
the command line so this really isn't a high priority for me
anyway.
