This way you will receive the lines which contain only the sentence you
are looking for, i.e. you will not find the lines which contain anything
other along with the sentence.
If you need to find the lines in which the sentence may form a part of
the line (as well as the lines where the sentence occupies the whole
line), you should use
Grep -ir "put sentence here" *

(i.e. without ^ and $)
