ack

ack is a search tool written in Perl.

A cheeky OpenBSD user complained that it was out of date: it was a fairly trivial update so I replied with a diff

 cvs diff -uN * > ack2.14.diff

So Nigel provided a correct diff and I tested it on i386, amd64 and sparc64.

Ag

Is another searching tool - time to give it a shot.
