Another fgrep query

I have a directory which contains loads (probably thousands) of different
files.
I want to search for a string but when I try an fgrep it bombs out because
the 'arg list is too long'.
I know roughly what date the data I am looking for was saved so is there a
way I can limit my fgrep to only search files which were saved on a certain
day.
I'm sure there probably is but I don't have the knowledge to do it.
Thanks again,
Dave
