On a related note, that was one of the awesome things about the
(now-deprecated) sagenb. You clicked "Help" and got immediate links to
very relevant Sage-specific help, including for the notebook itself. (Did I
learn about search_def() from that 13 years ago? I don't know any more.)

Others have pointed out that "-r" isn't standard, but "-r" is wrong
anyway. It's only supposed to search through python files. And having
"find" look for those files isn't any slower than having gr

There is a tradeoff. If I want to search the Sage source code, running
"search_src(...)" in Sage is easy, and it's in our documentation, so people
might find it. Running '!grep -R -n ... "$SAGE_ROOT"/src/sage' is not quite
as easy; if you want the line numbers, you need -n, and it also requires
I would be in favour of deprecation and eventual removal of search_src()
just as we discard old implementations of maths functions in favour of
maintained faster implementations in external libraries, we ought to
discard outdated interfaces too.

I feel the same way about functions like search_src() that badly
reimplement grep (even if they still work).
the code in src/sage/misc/log.py is quite old, and has no doctests.
As a result it has bitrotted due to an ipytthon update some years ago.
See https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/29621
