I am looking for something similar to the windows SEARCH FILES comman with the option "files containing ..." (that is where I can specify a string and it will find all files containing that string -- not just having the string as part of the name but actually containing it in the text).

Is there some way to do this?

You could use "glimpse" for that. Or google desktop ;-)

The problem is that preparing the index takes a lot of time. And more than 95 time out of 100, you don't need it anyway. (On a server, because man -k and locate already do a good job of making the relevant stuff available to you quickly).
