That's fair, I see many examples in this thread where people pass an exact string directly to grep, as you do. I'm an avid grepper, but my grep tool [1] translates spaces to ".*?", so I would just type "func lart(" in that example and it would work.

An incremental grep tool with just this one transformation rule gets you a lot more mileage out of grep.
