Yeah. And a car is called a horse carriage. Why do we keep rediscovering tools that have existed for such a long time? (facepalm)
Grep does not:
1) know about the scope of the project, i.e what files to search, without instructed so specifically.
2) have knowledge of code structure (methods, classes, etc). So "fuzzy" here means just using regex.
3) does not know how to present you with the results in a way that you can open quickly in tabs, etc.
