hi. maybe it's a bit strange - and maybe there are other tools to do this but, well..

i am using the following classic bash command to find all files which contain some string:

find . -type f | xargs grep "something"

i have a great number of files, on multiple depths. first occurence of "something" is enough for me, but find continues searching, and takes a long time to complete the rest of the files. what i would like to do is something like a "feedback" from grep back to find so that find could stop searching for more files. is such a thing possible?

thank you
