text serach in unknown file

Can any one tell me if there is an easy way to find a text in an unknown file name in a dierectory.

I'm trying to search for the text "where is john going" from a file
whose name I do not even know. There are about 1000 files in that directory and one of the files has this text in it.

Can any one tell me how I can achive this?


Thanks,
Ted
