I've changed a couple of bits and it now appears to be working as you'd want it.
Rather than using a find to test if $2 is a directory, I've used the test command ([). I've also slightly simplified your other finds, and edited the second find (you had .$2).
You can see i've redirected the output of the egreps to /dev/null to stop them echoing to the screen - but that's of course up to you.
I've removed the space following $1 in the grep. If you want to search for a "word", you could use \<$1\>.
I've also added the missing ;; as moxx suggested.
You are writing a very nice script, I hope I've helped you out a bit! Keep up the good work.
EDIT: Re-read your original post and put the recursion in....
