find-grep-dired is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `find-dired'.
(find-grep-dired DIR REGEXP)

Find files in DIR containing a regexp REGEXP and start Dired on output.
The command run (after changing into DIR) is

    find . -exec grep -s -e REGEXP {} \; -ls

Thus ARG can also contain additional grep options.

Andreas.
