It seems nobody has been able to fill your requirements outlined in your post, basically just something exactly like fuzzyfinder which will do the in file search.

The wait continues.

use CTRL-W then gF to open in a new tab.

Then gF

this opens the file in a new tab. Use gf to load the file or gF to load the file and go to the match.

This post was found just now via reddit, so thats why it’s so late! Hope this is useful,

move over to that window and search for any string
/somefilename/

Or try out the nerdtree plugin
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1658
click O on your root project folder
/somefile/

and just use n or N to go thru the results, when you get a match click o to open the file.

Yeah, I do know how to use grep so this doesn’t help me that much. I’m looking for something that does the following

1) provide me with an interface to search for something
2) run it through vimgrep
3) present me with a pop-up window where I can pick the file I want to open from a list

if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
echo “usage: rgrep \”\” \”\”"
exit
fi

find . -name “$1″ -print0 | xargs -r0 egrep -H “$2″

#end shell script

Use like:

$ rgrep ‘*.php’ ’someMethod\(‘

Note the quotes are necessary around the glob to prevent the shell from expanding it. Similarly you will meed to escape any characters that the shell might try to interpret.
