find <someplace> -type f -exec grep -l <something> {} \; might actually

You haven't seen some of the screwdrivers around here. Sure, both works to
some extent. Neiter is the right tool for this particular job. If I
already know there might be surprises lurking in the filesystems I better
be careful to pick the right tool.
