To do an eyeball search is to look for something specific, such as in a mass of code or data with one's own eyes, to perform a visual check. Also known as vgrep or ogrep, i.e., "visual/optical grep", and in the IBM mainframe world as IEBIBALL. The most important application of eyeball search / vgrep in software engineering is vdiff. In various disciplines it is also called the "eyeball technique" or "eyeball method" (of data assessment). "Eyeballing" is the most common and readily available method of initial data assessment.
