Disregard my previous brainless post.

man grep

  If  the  first  few bytes of a file indicate that the file contains 
binary data, assume that the file is of  type  TYPE.   By default,  TYPE 
  is  binary,  and grep normally outputs either a one-line message 
saying that a binary file matches, or no  message  if  there  is  no  match.
