alias grep='grep --color=always'

:<<'comment'

Here, the color parameter is specified in a grep-specific environment variable.
Then, you don't have to enter it in the command line again.
The "always" option is selected in order to colorize the output of the "grep"
command every time it is called, even if the output is piped to a command, or 
redirected to a file.

Also works with: 
export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto' 

DO NOT pipe notegrep with less.

comment


export GREP_COLORS='ms=01;33'


:<<'comment'

Now, change the highlight color of grep by using an environment variable, GREP_COLORS.
An empty string or 0 resets all text styling and resets both colors to the defaults but
does not reset the font to the default. Some options/examples are:

In this example, the matching regex is going to be displayed as bold yellow (in most terminals).

export LESSCHARSET=utf-8


:<<'comment'

Do the above for utf-8 support. 

It should also work with:

LANG=
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
