find . | xargs grep "search string"
If your search string is continuous (ex: abc1xyz2), no need to give quotes there. Else (ex: "abc1 xyz2"), quotes would be required.
"." represents the current folder and levels/directories under this directory/folder.
I find this very easy and fast to type too...

It's always good to have space robust/aware shell code, though
IFS="" read file works pretty well, though a line starting with a space might be confused...
