question about grep

I want to search for a word from the root directory using grep command.
I am searching for a word called batch in cd /vol directory.The vol directory has so many sub-directories and I want to see all the files having the name as batch.
This what I tried ..
/vol/ % grep -i *batch*
But it is hanging ,and I didn't have anything returned.
Could someone help me out with this.


thanks.
