[snip]My take away from answers so far is "A script will be required."Not necessarily, the trouble is: "find" is so vast, you can spend hours in the manual to search for adequate option for your specific need, and end up writing a script, instead of having found "the proper option".
I don't think "find" itself is the problem.Debian seems to do some 'black magic' to conflate "standard output" and "standard input". Otherwise a pipe command would be required between "find" and "grep".
