RE: Searching text files
If all the text files are in the same directory, open a command prompt in that directory and run...

find "word" *.txt > ..\results.txt

(The results file is in the parent directory so it won't be included in the search =p)

You could also use a text editor with a "find in files" feature, like PSPad or Notepad++ or EditPlus.
