In Solaris, Solaris grep will not provide recursive option -r to search a pattern recursively. But solaris provides another command called ggrep to search recursively. But ggrep location is normally not included in the PATH variable.
[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay]$which ggrep
no ggrep in /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin
[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay]$ls -l /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep
-r-xr-xr-x 3 root bin 125664 Jan 23 2005 /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep
[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay]$
Example for recursive grep using ggrep in Solaris:
[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay/sp]$ /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep -R 'apple' *
file.txt:apple
file3.txt:apple orange
jsk/jsk.txt:apple
[vjsujay@cheetah:/home/vjsujay/sp]$
