I want to search a word in my computer and i don't know where it is. For example, i wanna search the word Ubuntu in all texts(word, txt,...) on my pc. In present directory, i use cat * | grep Ubuntu and it gives me what i want. But there are two problems.
- It supports only txt files and .odt files are not searched.
- Even in txt files, i should search only in the directory where i am, whatif i wanna search a word that i don't know where it is?
Anyway, the cat and grep are two powerful tools and they help me alot, just i want to know if those options are available.
