It would take a lot more than being able to search file data in a Query
to make grep obsolete :-) One (and there are others) of the best
features of grep is that it can operate with standard-in and
standard-out, letting you pipe input into it and out of it to make
complex tool chains in shell commands.
Now if you want a GUI version of this, that's a different story (and
one I've been thinking about for a while :) - but hardly the job of the
Query app :-)
