-`sgrep' (structured grep) is a tool for searching text files and
-filtering text streams using structural criteria. Complex criteria
-can be specified as macros using M4.
+sgrep (structured grep) is a tool for searching and indexing text, SGML,XML
+and HTML files and filtering text streams using structural criteria. The data
+model of sgrep is based on regions, which are nonempty substrings of text.
+Regions are typically occurrences of constant strings, SGML-tags, or meaningful
+text elements, which are recognizable through some delimiting strings or the
+builtin SGML, XML and HTML parser. Regions can be arbitrarily long, arbitrarily
+overlapping, and arbitrarily nested.

+Sgrep is a convenient tool for making queries to almost any kind of text files
+with some well kown structure. These include programs, mail folders, news
+folders, HTML, SGML, etc... With relatively simple queries you can display mail
+messages by their subject or sender, extract titles or links or any regions
+from HTML files, function prototypes from C or make complex queries to SGML
+files based on the DTD of the file.
