bug#56453: Bug reports

[GUI]

I'm a beginner for Linux.
Today, when I was learning the grep command, I used the man command to check 
its manual and found a suspicious point.In its DESCRIPTION,it says "grep  
searches  for  PATTERN  in  each  FILE.   A FILE of ??-?? stands for standard 
input.  If no FILE is given, recursive searches examine the working directory, 
and nonrecursive searches read standard input.  By default, grep prints the 
matching lines. In addition, the variant programs egrep and fgrep are the  same 
 as  grep -E  and  grep -F,  respectively.   These  variants  are deprecated, 
but are provided for backward compatibility."
I think there are something wrong with the sentence 'If no FILE is given, 
recursive searches examine the working directory, and nonrecursive searches 
read standard input. ' . Pay attention to the 'and' in "recursive searches 
examine the working directory, and nonrecursive searches read standard 
input".When I use the grep command,such as this:


[root@localhost ~]# grep Download dwad dawdwa Downloads Downloads ^C 
[root@localhost ~]# 


From this result,we can see that if no file is given, nonrecursive searches 
read standard input instead of that rescursive searches examine the working 
directory.
As we known, the working directory is ~,whose subdirectories have 
'Downloads'.So when you type grep Download on  terminal, you should see 
'Downloads' under the current folder ~.
I don't know why or There is something wrong with the description of grep in 
the manual.
