Searching through more than one file.

I need to search through a directory of text files for a string.
Here is a short program I made in the past to search through a single
text file for a line of text.
How can I modify the code to search through a directory of files that
have different filenames, but the same extension?
fname = raw_input("Enter file name: ") #"*.txt"
fh = open(fname)
lst = list()
biglst=[]
for line in fh:
line=line.rstrip()
line=line.split()
biglst+=line
final=[]
for out in biglst:
if out not in final:
final.append(out)
final.sort()
print (final)
