Does "grep -r -I 192.168.100.1 /" not do what you want?
That won't work if there are lots and lots of files to search...
Why not?
Because you it can fail with an "Argument list too long" message. It's a right pain, but using xargs as I previously suggested avoids that.
"-r" means recursively grep; you pass a single directory to grep in the same way you pass a single directory to find in your example. The number of files under that directory is irrelevant.
