Question How to grep recursively in a folder?

I have a folder and I want to search for a pattern in all the files in that folder excluding the binaries.What command should I use.My search pattern is "sargasso : Overnight Extract for WOOSH18.3".Can someone tell me what should be my command?

Thanks,
Ajit
