As a fast alternative for linux/unix grep you could also try the psitems powershell module. It includes a psgrep command (alias for Find-ItemContent) that works similar to the linux/unix grep command (the basic way, only a few parameters of original grep included).

Install-Module -Name PSItems
Import-Module -Name PSItems
psgrep 'test' -H -R

(above command searches for pattern test in all files in current directory recursively (-R) and highlights the results (-H))

Fore more information check the README.
