Linux: search for a specific word in all files
I am using Ubuntu 12. I am trying to find the word "SymbolSetThree" in my Ubuntu machine home directory.
For this I used
grep "SymbolSetThree" /home
It just shows up as grep: / home: there is a directory
Please let me know how to search for a specific word in all files in Linux.
This is what I have tried

grep: /home: Is a directory
