PowerShell: Equivalent to UNIX find/grep

Product: Windows PowerShell I was trying to find out the PowerShell command that equivalent to following UNIX command to search through all files for a particular text (or regular expression) find . | grep -i "family_picture" The PowerShell equivalent is Get-ChildItem -recurse | select-string -pattern "family_picture" Default is not case sensitive, so no need to map "grep -i" parameter. If needed case sensitive, then it will be Get-ChildItem -recurse | select-string -pattern "family_picture" -casesensitive
