I tend to do this:
find . -type f -exec grep <pattern> /dev/null {} \;
The "/dev/null" is because grep doesn't show the file name unless
there are at least two provided, and this accomplishes what Akemi's
command above does but in a single command. Of course, it still takes
forever if the directory whence the search begins is /.
