I agree with the thesis but if you're taking this approach with vim it's very much worth being aware of how to use the quickfix and/or location buffers so you can easily step between the things that you've found. If you put a bunch of location-prefixed lines in a vim buffer (either from running a command within vim or by piping to `vim -`) you can get them in your quickfix buffer with `:cbuffer!` and then step between locations with `:cnext` and `:cprev` (one of the few things my top-level .vimrc does is bind these to tab and shift-tab, respectively).
