Cancel rgrep during execution

Question

I'm recursively grepping a large project using M-x rgrep.

After a few seconds pass I see the text I was searching for. At this point how can I cancel the search whilst preserving the buffer contents?

C-c C-k should be bound to kill-compilation, which should do the job.
