Try the "silver searcher" (`ag`) :-) Fast and accurate:

ag --html mysites
db/db.execute/db.execute.html
38:db.execute sql="INSERT INTO mysites (id,name,east,north) values
(30,'Ala',1657340,5072301)"

lib/db/sqlp/sql.html
137:v.db.select mysites where="id LIKE 'P__'"
140:v.db.select mysites where="id LIKE 'P%'"

Fine for me, esp. with the new purpose of making even better use of
"demolocation".
Just these few usages should be replaced.
