ls -alR | grep "index.html" > temp.file cat temp.file
Not especially slick, but pretty universal. Should work anywhere and give the result you are looking for.

The problem is that this command is not executed as root, so I'm going to get a
bunch of errors like:
ls -alR 2>/dev/null | grep "index.html"
That's the exact same as ls -alR | grep "index.html" 2> /dev/null.
In either case grep doesn't process standard error. It really doesn't matter where on the commandline you put the 2> /dev/null. I don't think it matters where you put 2>&1 either if you really need to parse the error stream.
Note that in the case of the original poster he's using csh, which

Unless there's a reason to send errors through the pipe and burn CPU
processing them, why not kill it right away? As for the other, it's
only eating grep's stderr but you want get rid of the ls' error
messages.
