Evan,

"Can you at least explain why you think grep is an insufficient solution ?"

Sure. Is it a native i5 function or command? From all my years with this type of OS architecture, it isn't. Is it easily available from inside the i5 or do I have to patch together this *ix function and the i5 files of which I'm searching? From what I know, the answer is no. As I understand it, I have to go to QSH or some such and from that environment patch back to the i5 files structures or some such. If I'm wrong, show me; show me it is as easy as a Windoz Search.
