A patrick mentioned, find should work, but here is a bash script that does 
what you want. The script is not very elegant as I threw it together. 
In this case, sname is a variable containing the name of a file that has 
"script" in the name. 
#!/bin/bash
for i in $(ls -p)
do
        case $i in
                */) cd $i; pth=$PWD;
                for sname in $(ls)
                do
                        case $sname in
                                *script*) echo "$sname found in $pth";;
                        esac
                done
                cd ..;;
        esac
done
