Unix command to grep subfolders

Here is a Unix command which will be useful for many folks scratching their head to search something in sub folders

find . -name *.doc -exec egrep {} \;

Example:
$ find . -name *.doc -exec egrep Administrator {} \;
Binary file ./Desktop/interview_experience.doc matches
Binary file ./Desktop/Resume.doc matches

Hope this helps!
