482 <p>Look for specified patterns in the tracked files in the work tree, blobs
483 registered in the index file, or blobs in given tree objects. Patterns
484 are lists of one or more search expressions separated by newline

505 <dd>
506 <p>Search files in the current directory that is not managed by Git,
507 or by ignoring that the current directory is managed by Git. This
508 is rather similar to running the regular <code>grep(1)</code> utility with its
509 <code>-r</code> option specified, but with some additional benefits, such as
510 using pathspec patterns to limit paths; see the <em>pathspec</em> entry
511 in <a href="gitglossary.html">gitglossary(7)</a> for more information.</p>
512 <div class="paragraph">
513 <p>This option cannot be used together with <code>--cached</code> or <code>--untracked</code>.

523 <dd>
524 <p>Do not pay attention to ignored files specified via the <code>.gitignore</code>

526 with <code>--no-index</code>.</p>
527 </dd>
528 <dt class="hdlist1">--recurse-submodules</dt>
529 <dd>
530 <p>Recursively search in each submodule that is active and
531 checked out in the repository. When used in combination with the
532 <em>&lt;tree&gt;</em> option the prefix of all submodule output will be the name of
533 the parent project&#8217;s <em>&lt;tree&gt;</em> object. This option cannot be used together
534 with <code>--untracked</code>, and it has no effect if <code>--no-index</code> is specified.</p>

562 <p>For each &lt;pathspec&gt; given on command line, descend at most &lt;depth&gt;
563 levels of directories. A value of -1 means no limit.
564 This option is ignored if &lt;pathspec&gt; contains active wildcards.
565 In other words if "a*" matches a directory named "a*",
566 "*" is matched literally so --max-depth is still effective.</p>
