Is there a command that finds a file containing a certain word?
find and apropos don't. They work on filenames only.
grep ... and you can use -r to search through files/directories recursively.
You can also use -i to do a case insensitive search.
And there are dozens of other flags to confuse you!
man grep <=== tells all.
And to add to the mix, there are variants fgrep and egrep :)
