Try something like this:

(defun grep-cur-word ()
  "grep-find on the current word"
  (interactive)
  (unless grep-find-command
       (grep-compute-defaults))
  (grep (concat grep-find-command "\"" (current-word) "\"")))

PS: You posted the same question separately to comp.emacs and
gnu.emacs.help.  Please don't multi-post -- cross-post instead.  

If you want to post to both groups then include both of them in the
Newsgroups header instead of sending identical copies.
