if you're trying to use grep to select the interesting lines from a
build then you're probably finding that all compiler errors and
warnings are being passed through.

this is because the compiler is writing the errors/warnings
to stderr rather than stdout, pipes usually work on stdout.

try:

gcc main.c 2>&1 | grep mysearch
