how to do it?

You might want to check out the plugin I wrote called EasyGrep . It supports native support when using tracked mode. What you can do is place the cursor over the word (or visually select some text) and type <leader> vv, and it will look for everything * .cpp * .hpp * .cxx * .hxx * .cc * .c * .h for drawing. When you get used to the <leader> vv set, this is significantly faster than typing: Command / Pattern /.
