Sometimes you want to use quickfix for some things other than grep and make. You can always replace one of them and then return to what it was.
So, I have in my vimrc:
fu! Mycscope(func) let tmp1=&grepprg let tmp2=&grepformat set grepformat=%f\ %*[a-zA-Z_0-9]\ %l\ %m set grepprg=cscope\ -R\ -L\ -3 exe "grep ".a:func exe "set grepprg=".escape(tmp1,' ') exe "set grepformat=".escape(tmp2, ' ') endf command -nargs=* CScope :silent call Mycscope("<args>")
This will create the command CScope, that does a cscope's "find functions calling this function" with quickfix.
Another example: lid
fu! Mylid(arg) let tmp1=&grepprg set grepprg=lid\ -Rgrep\ -s\ $* exe "grep ".a:arg exe "set grepprg=".escape(tmp1," ") endf command -nargs=* Lid :silent call Mylid("<args>")
Bug: Sometimes Vim is unable to come back from the command, and you have to hit CTRL+C. I have no idea why.

The last two lines in your Mycscope can be simply
let &grepprg=tmp1 let &grepformat=tmp2
