So why do you even mention it?
But the most important point is: _don't_ use 'less' on places other than
the end of a pipe! Less is a pager whose task is to pretty-print streams
so they are human readable. Less _does_ possible modify the stream. I'll
escape transmogrify certain control characters. If you try to use zless/grep
to search for a control sequence you might be up for a surprise ...

bzgrep?
...
Grep is fully capably capable of matching lines directly from the file
so you don't need anything piping the file to it. ...
Now, what if the file is compressed ?
There is
bzless config.tar.bz2 | grep PREEMT*
would that somehow work pipeless ? $ less
config-2.6.39.1 | grep PREEMPT
It's also possible with the angle bracket
<config.txt grep PREEMT*
BUT: I really would NOT recommend that.
If you accidentally reverse the bracket (>), you've lost.... --
