But the question is not only of file managers, that was only an example. Another example might be looking for a package to install:
Code:
$ aptitude search qt | grep ruby
p   libqt0-ruby1.8                  - Qt3 bindings for Ruby
p   libqt4-ruby                     - Qt 4 Ruby bindings
p   libqt4-ruby1.8                  - Qt 4 bindings for Ruby
p   libqt4-ruby1.8-dev              - Qt 4 bindings for Ruby - development files
p   libqt4-ruby1.8-examples         - Qt 4 bindings for Ruby - example files
p A libqtruby4shared2               - internal library for Qt 4 Ruby bindings
$

Now I know that I want to install the second and fifth packages. Must I manually type in "sudo apt-get install libqt4-ruby libqt4-ruby1.8-examples"? Why can't there be a simple "sudo apt-get install ^2 ^5"? Should I file a feature request at bash? Is this not something that would be useful to many people?
The problem is that the shell isn't even looking at the output of your first command. The shell's fd for stdout is simply being copied into the subprocess that is running find/aptitude/etc. and that is outputing directly to your console.
