But that will search all files including meta files like .directory,
CVS, .svn and what else there might be.

May I suggest:

ffind is a function
ffind ()
{
    find . -iname "${2}" | xargs grep -l "${1}" 2>/dev/null
}

and having learned about basename and dirname I will soon improve that
function.
