Not true for basic invocations. Not enough information to reproduce this. Closing this report.

Please write to the mailing list (bug-grep at gnu dot org) before filing a bug report here. Give at least the version of Grep, operating system, and the exact command that we can use to demonstrate the problem.

From the grep man page:
Normally, exit status is 0 if selected lines are found and 1 otherwise.

I'm finding that the exit status is 0 regardless of whether lines are found or not.
