Bug Description
Dear "root owning" overlords,
When using grep recursively I only get local results:
grep -R fish_t /home/noob/
/home/noob/
/home/noob/
or worse:
grep -R shark_t /home/noob/
/home/noob/
/home/noob/
I declare this a bug for two reasons:
1. The output is boring.
2. The terminal has more than 2 lines!!! It's an unefficient use of my screenspace.
I believe the reason for this is that the grep command only searches locally for things I am actually looking for, I kind of expect the results I get from my codebase and as such it removes any sense of mystery or something new and exciting to spice up my dull geek existence. That's boring, grep -R should also search amazon, so I get more exciting results such as:

This is less dull and also maximises the use of my terminal and hence increases my productivity.
Please can you change the grep warez to have this feature, and just install it on my machine while I'm down the pub, after all you do "erm, have root", so it should be easy for you to do :-)
Thanks Ubuntu devs!!!
Sent from my Unity device, (which is why it took several glacial ages and a couple of eras to get it done)

command-not-found should totally have ubuntu software centre integration for things like this:
you@home:~$ portal2
base: portal2: command not found...
Would you like to buy and install Portal 2 via Steam for $7.49 ? [Y/n]
