Hi there

Does anyone knows if exist a tool that allows search multiple strings in
multiple files at once? 
I need to check the public area of my network to see if any confidential or
inapropriate file was posted there. I have a hundred of phrases and
thousands of files to check. 

Any help will be welcome.

grep -f phrase_list.txt /files/to/search

Obviously, "phrase_list.txt" should contain your search phrases, one per
line. If you're not running Unix, you can still get a DOS version of the
standard Unix utilities including "grep"; just search around on the Web.
