in thread Simple Text Indexing

What I need it to do is not only tell me if a word is in a file but where in that file the word appears. I am a historian. Knowing that a word is in a file is completely useless to me unless I know where in that file it is so that I can read the information myself. With small files, this is not a problem since I can quickly find it but with medium and large size files it is useless. Like I said, I could just use the find feature of my favorite text editor however I would like to be able to search over multiple files since, especally with the annals, I need to know if something shows up in other files. Also, I am on WinXP so shell commands are not exactly an option.
