[ale] decending dirs with spaces in the path

I have a win4lin directory tree with many dirs/files with spaces in their
paths.
I'd like to search these files for particular strings. I typically do
this with:
find /somedir -print | xargs grep string
But the spaces give grep a headache. Is there anyway to surround the
results of find with quotes before piping to xargs?
Thanks!
John
