The *correct* way is to use -print0

~> find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep dovetail
That says, print the output using 0 (-print0) as the delimiter and pipe that into xargs setting the delimiter to 0 (-0)

I assume you ignore paths with space because of The Separator Problem (pi.dk/5). Consider using GNU Parallel to get that to work.

Compliments – it’s like a story line, super fun to read. As compared to most blogs that just present information.
