Making completion list...
`find-grep' is an alias for `grep-find'
find-library-name: Can't find library
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/progmodes/grep.el

so with googling a bit i found out that there is a grep-find-command
variable that you can modify

unfortunately

(setq grep-find-command "find.. and so on") didnt work

even what was mentioned here didnt work:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2148575/default-string-for-grep-find-in-emacs

|(grep-compute-defaults)
(setq grep-find-command "find.. and so on)|



But this worked:

(grep-apply-setting 'grep-find-command "find .. and so on")

Thanks
