# Find files which contains the "everybody wants me" text
#
# grep -H "everybody wants me" some/dir -R | cut -d: -f1
#
# it will print matching file names
#
# so what if we create handy command for it as:
#
grep -H $0 $1 -R cut -d: -f1
# here, $0 -> text to search for
# $1 -> directory path to search within
# USAGE:
# find-files-for "everybody wants me" ~/delicious
# TODO:
# provide options such as:
# -q for search query, -d for directory, -r (optional) for recursive search
