Grep _will_ search in files found throughout a directory hierarchy, but that's not it's default mode of operation. Look into the "-R" / "-r" / "--recursive" option and the associated "--include" and "--exclude" options.
Also, I don't know what you intend by your use of "-m", but according to the help output, it requires a numeric argument that limits the number of matches displayed per target file.
I suspect that in part you're accustomed to a non-Gnu grep program, and there are considerable differences between other greps and Gnu grep. Read the man page so you'll know how to use it properly.
