Emacs-native solution to searching files

When I use Emacs on a Linux OS, I search through files with rgrep. On Windows machine this takes some additional setup. Is there an Emacs-powered solution for searching through multiple files that does not depend on external utilities?

how to use helm-do-grep to search within subdirectories?

I am running the command helm-do-grep and I notice that the search is not recursive, i.e. it searches only in the directory I specify and not in subdirectories. How do I direct helm-grep to automatically search recursively?
