Well, not exatctly. grep -i does not show you the filename, if you call 
it this way.

You could either use

find . -name '*.cfm' -exec grep -i something {} /dev/null \;

which would make grep to show the filename. grep will think that it 
searches multiple files, and will not find something in /dev/null. This 
solution works well under Unix. With Cygwin, you may not have devices 
available in /dev, depending on your installation.

The solution with xargs is probably faster with a large number of files 
because the grep program is not started that often.
