Grep option request

Hello.

I had to search a large mailing list archive. "grep word */*.html"
didn't work because there was too many files. I tried following:
  for i in `find|grep html`; do grep Word $i; done
It worked but now there are no filename prefixes!

Following options are offered:
       -h, --no-filename
              Suppress  the prefixing of filenames on output when
              multiple files are searched.
       -l, --files-with-matches
              Suppress normal output; instead print the  name  of
              each  input  file  from which output would normally
              have been printed. The scanning will  stop  on  the
              first match.

And this is my suggestion for a new one:
  --yes-filename
     Prefix the filename on output even when a single file is searched.

Regards,

Juhana
