address@hidden rgrep
+  The commands @kbd{M-x lgrep} (local grep) and @kbd{M-x rgrep}
+(recursive grep) are more user-friendly versions of @code{grep} and
address@hidden, 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 @code{case-fold-search}.
+
+These commands build the shell commands based on the variables
address@hidden (for @code{lgrep}) and @code{grep-find-template}
+(for @code{rgrep}).
+
+The files to search can use aliases defined in the variable
address@hidden
+
+Subdirectories listed in the variable
address@hidden such as those typically used by
+various version control systems, like CVS and arch, are automatically
+skipped by @code{rgrep}.
