Why can I find e.g. top, pppd, etc. with this but not Finder, iTunes, etc.?

in order for grep to do a case insensitive match, do
`grep -i <pattern>`

do you want grep to show you everything but some pattern?
use -v

case insensitive restrict would be -iv (or -vi)

and of course, you can really narrow down your options by chaining your greps!

You are welcome.
