How to grep with specific pattern and just its first matched?

example:

grep something *

it will return

blah blah .... something
blah blah .... something
blah blah .... something

(this difference on its timestamp)

but I need just one line....

how to program a shell script ?

any help or suggest would be greatly appreciated much.thanks a lot.
