How about M-x rgrep?
I support your idea.
However, I wonder what kind of value
should be used as default argument for -name?
Guessing "*.ext" from the major mode of the current buffer
is one idea. e.g.
c-mode => -name "*.[ch]"
emacs-lisp-mode => -name '*.el'
But I think there are too many cases that the default value is
not enough. In such case the user have to type C-b or M-b many
times to modify the default value or remove -name argument. It
is not convenient. If you can find good default value and/or
good user interface for editing -name argument, I think it is
worth implementing. Of course, after releasing.
