If that's not enough, for example as I like to change switch some parameters quite often, write your own commands.

The command below uses -maxdepth 9, while another aliased gf1 uses -maxdepth 1 etc.

(defalias 'gf9 'neun-grep-find)
(defun neun-grep-find ()
   (interactive)
   (grep-apply-setting 'grep-find-command "find . -maxdepth 9 -type f -name \"*.el\" -print0 | xargs -0 -e grep -nH -e ")
   (grep-find (car (progn
                     (grep-compute-defaults)
                         (list (read-shell-command "Run find (like this): "
                                                   grep-find-command 'grep-find-history))))))
