Sorry, late to pay attention to this--assuming it hasn't been suggested,
how about the traditional Unix command pipeline:

        find . -type f -print | xargs grep "some text"

where you can substitute the appropriate directory for the "." if that's
your wish (and yes, I know the "-print" is redundant in the Linux/GNU
version of find...).  Oh, and use the appropriate version of grep,
too--grep, egrep, etc., if you wish.
