Search - Searches a file or pattern for a string
FROM/M, SEARCH/A, ALL/S, NONUM/S, QUIET/S, QUICK/S, FILE/S, PATTERN/S, CASE/S
FROM - Directory or file where to search
SEARCH - Search string
ALL - if FROM is a Dir, will process subdirectories as well
NONUM - Do not print the line numbers with the string
QUIET - Searches quietly; file names being searched are not displayed
QUICK - Use a more compact output format
FILE - Looks for a file by the specified name,
rather than for a string in the file
PATTERN - Only files matching this pattern will be processed
CASE - Search is case-sensitive (default=NO)
NOTE: Search leaves a 0 in the condition flag if the object is found, and a 5 (WARN) otherwise. To abandon the search of the current file and continue to the next file, if any, press Ctrl+D. Search is aborted when Ctrl+C is pressed.
