 There's a new separate package grep.el, with its own submenu and
 customization group.

+*** New commands `lgrep' (local grep) and `rgrep' (recursive grep) are
+more user-friendly versions of `grep' and `grep-find', which prompt
+separately for the regular expression to match, the files to search,
+and the base directory for the search (rgrep only).  Case sensitivitivy
+of the search is controlled by the current value of `case-fold-search'.
+
+These commands build the shell commands based on the new variables
+`grep-template' (lgrep) and `grep-find-template' (rgrep).
+
+The files to search can use aliases defined in `grep-files-aliases'.
+
+Subdirectories listed in `grep-find-ignored-directories' such as those
+typically used by various version control systems, like CVS and arch,
+are automatically skipped by `rgrep'.
