This command might work for you:

:command! -nargs=+ MyLgrep execute 'silent lgrep! <args>' | lopen 42

Note that the '!' form of lgrep means 'do not jump to first match', which may
or may not be what you want.

The location list window doesn't have to be made 42 lines high, of course.

You can then invoke this command like so:

:MyLgrep export ~/.bashrc

to find for example all occurrences of the pattern 'export' in your ~/.bashrc.

You might want to map this to a key sequence:

:nnoremap <Leader>g :MyLgrep

Note that its a tiny bit more convenient if you map to 'MyLgrep ' (with a
trailing space).
