Lucky you

$ find / /home -xdev | grep " " | wc -l
436

It's always good to have space robust/aware shell code, though

IFS="" read file works pretty well, though a line starting with a space might be confused...

also do the trick?
Ok, gfind works as expected.

find . | xargs grep "search string"

If your search string is continuous (ex: abc1xyz2), no need to give quotes there. Else (ex: "abc1 xyz2"), quotes would be required.

"." represents the current folder and levels/directories under this directory/folder.

I find this very easy and fast to type too...

Yeah, but if your filenames contain spaces this will break.
