"Find all matches for REGEXP in all marked files, recursively."
What does it mean to find matches in a particular marked file,
_recursively_? This seems to be a nonsense description.
If what you mean is that the marked files in a marked _subdirectory_
are searched, and so on for its marked subdirs, recursively - then
say so.
If you don't mean something like that then I cannot imagine what this
means. How can a _file_ (marked or not) be searched recursively?

Fixed, thanks.
