This is the code I'm using for me, myself and I:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; search for files with names matching a wild card pattern and dired the
;; output
(global-set-key [(control c) ?1] 'find-name-dired)

;; search for files with contents matching a wild card pattern and dired the
;; output
(global-set-key [(control c) ?2] 'find-grep-dired)

;; run grep via find, with user-specified arguments
(global-set-key [(control c) ?3] 'grep-find)

;; ignore `.svn' and `CVS' directories
(setq grep-find-command
      (concat
       "find . \\( -path '*/.svn' -o -path '*/CVS' \\) -prune -o -type f 
-print0"
              " | xargs -0 -e grep -i -n -e "))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
