Conceptually, the grep commands are not a good fit for the Edit menu.
The Edit menu contains commands that act on the current buffer; the
Tools menu contains commands that do fancier stuff like operating on
multiple files. So, even though Isearch and Grep are both "search
commands", I don't think it's good to consolidate them on the menu bar.
