Can be any simple search string

The files are either a 20-100mb mysql dump, which likely means very 
long lines, or a hundred word doc files. neither is even relevant to 
the project, but because i just open the projects with "e .", they end 
up in it. (where e is an alias for mate or open -a textmate)

They're local

If I wait a few aeons, sometimes I can regain control, but sometimes it 
goes so resource hungry I just kill it.
