bug#24067: Bug Report : How to grep and treat meta character as normal character?

[bibek ghimire]

Hi Paul,
         When I use type grep I get following :

$ type grep

grep is a function

grep ()

{

    /usr/bin/grep --color=auto $*

}

          When I use which grep I get following:

$which grep

/usr/bin/grep
