| What is the easiest way to locates files (say HTML) by text in their
| documents?  4DOS ffind is essentially what I am trying to do.  Is there
| a way to pipe 'find'?  Or do I need to use gawk?
| When I tried using gawk it would not allow me to search multiple
| directories.  I find never used
| gawk before so I probably didn't know what I was doing.  I would prefer
| to 'find' somehow but I am
| not sure how to search for text using it.  Any suggestions?

Hm. Do you mean something like:

find . -name '*.html' | xargs grep 'mytext'
