Okay, how about "--matching-string"?

I've attached the patch in which the option was renamed.

2001-05-08   Daiki Ueno  <address@hidden>

        * grep.c: New option --matching-string.
        (matching_string_option): New static variable.
        (MATCHING_STRING_OPTION): New constant.
        (long_options): Add --matching-string.
        (usage): Description of new options.
        (prline): Now when matching_string_option is set prline() does not
        print the rest of the matching line.

        * grep.1, grep.texi: Document the new option.

matching-string.diff
Description: Binary data
