I have an expression that searches within files

The command below works, but won't give me
the directory.
find /home -name *.txt -exec grep searchstring {} \;

Try
find /home -name "*.txt" -exec grep --with-filename searchstring {} \;
If that doesn't do it then this surely will
find /home -name "*.txt" -exec grep searchstring {} /dev/null \;
