You know, with all of the hype around 'desktop' search tools for Windoze boxes 
(which is a horrible thing to have to use to find something), I was thinking 
if someone is going to write something for Linux.  Then, I thought - 'Hey, I 
already know what to write!'

$ find . -exec grep 'string to find' {} \; -print

Sure, there's not spiffy index and binaries don't give great results, but  hey 
it WFM.
