put this in a file called recent_grep and "source recent_grep", then you can use the command

Code:
recent_grep() {
  (
    shopt -s nullglob
    # search only recent directories
    find . -type d -mtime -1 -print0 | while IFS= read -rd '' dir; do
      files=( "$dir"/*.csv???????? )
      # skip empty directory
      (( ${#files[@]} )) || continue
      for file in "${files[@]}"; do
        date=${file##*.csv}
        grep "$@" "$file" | while read -r line; do
          #prefix grep output with date
          printf '%s\t%s\t%s\n' "$date" "$dir" "$line"
        done
      done
    done | sort -r
  )
}

i re-created the data from your pastes. here is output.

Code:
[mute@geek ~/temp/quemalr]$ source recent_grep
