Whenever I want to search for anything I just do so with find and grep
within my source directory.

In order to not include things in .svn directories I use an alias named 'sfind':

alias sfind='find . \! -path "*/.svn/*" -type f'

...that finds all files starting in my current directory skipping .svn
folders.  Then I just do:

sfind -exec grep -l <the_string_to_search_for> {} \;

The nice part about that is that, since I tend to use gvim as an
editor, I can also do this to edit all the above matching files:

gvim -p `sfind -exec grep -l <the_string_to_search_for> {} \;`
