I'm working on a command-line tool for advanced full-text search of written documents. It works in a completely different way than grep, so it can do a lot of operations that grep fundamentally cannot like fuzzy searching and proximity searching. I needed something like this for my scientific research, and I'm glad that I have this capability now. I hope others find it useful too!

I called it Wosp for word-oriented search and print. See the GitHub page for more information: https://github.com/atrettel/wosp
