The "slash search" (/) and "upward search" (?) in vi only search the current file.
I haven't tried the new vimgrep, but apparently it allows you to search a specified set of files in a given directory (e.g., "*.h", or "*.ini", or "April*" or whatever).
It's just a convenient alternative to opening an xterm and cd'ing to a directory and executing a grep command.
