In fact, depending on the exact conditions of your search, you might not
need to use find at all. 'grep -r' will do a recursive search, starting
at whatever directory you give it, looking inside every file for some
content. Like:
grep -r 'keyword_or_regex' dirname
Of course, 'man grep' for various options...
I wish a list of files with a specific extension in a directory which
contain keywordA but not keywordB. Recursing down the directory tree was
the primary objection to the MATE search tool.
