This & previous question should not be posted to this list,
please see list remit you got when you subscribed.

This question also has nothing specific to FreeBSD,
it would be covered in a standard Unix tutorial or book,
use a search engine to find a Unix tutorial for beginners.

read manual, by typing
	man find

Example solution:
	find / -type f -exec grep -i "your phrase" {} /dev/null \;
of
	find -X / -type f  | xargs grep -l "your phrase"

If you dont understand the above, also type:
	man find
	man xargs


Cheers,
Julian
