Default Folder search

At present to search for a date within my workbook I use the following code,

Sub myfind()
Dim Message, Title, Default, SearchString
Message = "Enter date as ( d-* or dd-* )" ' Set prompt.
Title = "Select Day " ' Set title.
Default = "dd-mmm-yy" ' Set default.
' Display message, title, and default value.
SearchString = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)

'SearchString = "Rob"
Set S = Sheets.Application
For Each S In Application.Sheets

With S.Range("A1:IV65536")
Set F = .find(SearchString, MatchCase:=False, LookAt:=xlPart,
LookIn:=xlValues)
If F Is Nothing Then
Else
Location = F.Address
S.Select
Range(Location).Select
Exit For
End If
End With
Next S
End Sub


What I want to do is to be able to apply this to searching a folder and it's
subfolders for a date within the books in the folders. The date I will be
searching for will only ever exist once in the folders. Is there a way I can
search the folders for a date that exists in a cell on each spreadsheet
