Using grep is not an appropriate way to recover files, and may give undesirable results.

The man page would become much more informative if some examples with  often-used options would be included. As a example of advanced use this command to find fragments of deleted files could be included:
grep -a -B200 -A200 "String to search" /dev/sda3 > recover.txt
