How to create grep alias with arguments

Question

Lets say i have this search term:

grep -i -r --include=*.xib "img_28301.png" ./

how would i go about creating an alias that allows me to do this:

xibsearch img_28301.png 

and do the same thing?

Answer 1

It will be much cleaner to have a function for this:

xibsearch() {
    grep -i -r --include=*.xib "$1" ./
}

As alias doesn't support positional parameters.
