Where is jQuery.ajax defined in jQuery source code?

Question

I am trying to find where jQuery.ajax() is defined in their source code. However, using grep does not work.

Where is it?

Thanks.

 > grep jQuery.ajax src/* src/ajax.js:// Base "constructor" for jQuery.ajaxPrefilter and jQuery.ajaxTransport src/ajax.js: flatOptions = jQuery.ajaxSettings.flatOptions || {}; src/ajax.js: params = jQuery.param( params, jQuery.ajaxSettings.traditional ); src/ajax.js: jQuery.ajax({ src/ajax.js: return jQuery.ajax({ src/ajax.js: ajaxExtend( target, jQuery.ajaxSettings ); src/ajax.js: target = jQuery.ajaxSettings; src/ajax.js: s = jQuery.ajaxSetup( {}, options ), src/ajax.js: traditional = jQuery.ajaxSettings.traditional; src/ajax.js:// Want to move this to jQuery.ajax some day src/manipulation.js: jQuery.ajax({

Here you will find: http://james.padolsey.com/jquery/#v=1.6.2&fn=jQuery.ajax

This site is very useful for going through jQuery source code.

The source in the case of the above link does not work:

In ajax.js , line 383 :

 jQuery.extend({ //... ajax: function( url, options ) {
