I have a bunch of binaries and I know that inside these binaries there are strings I want to find.

I want to do a

grep -lir "the string I am looking for"

and get a list of all binaries inside a particular directory that contain that string but grep -lir is apparently not working with these files.

Is there a command that can do this kind of search from terminal?
