Using find for finding files is best. Really having grep do directory
processing is a misfeature.

If you want bash/csh style file globbing them you can just use bash
directly, for the current directory anyway.
echo {no,uh}* | xargs grep

For that plain old find is best.
find D -name 'no*' -o -name 'uh*' | xargs grep

Try:
grep -r abc .
