I don't know of any version of find that has a primary that searches file contents. And you haven't bothered to tell us what operating system you're using, so we can't check the find man page on your system to see if it has any extensions that might provide that capability. Why don't you read the find man page on your system and see if you can find any primaries or options that would do what you want with the find that is available on your system?
