Grep overflows context with a single command

[ClassyCircuit]

Searching needs to be optimized, very often it will run Grep **/* (path=, pattern=containerloader) and that will return so much text that it automatically overflows the entire context window.
Especially in frontend projects with node modules.

Is it possible to limit this functionality somehow?

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• Claude's context get's filled up by reading a single file #2981: Claude's context get's filled up by reading a single file - describes how context gets filled and compacted after file operations, similar to the grep overflow issue described here

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

It's not the same as #2981. AI should add more filters when grepping files in large codebases.

I thought we automatically truncated the grep response to try to handle this, will take a look
