If you want to use meta it's simple but will not mark the play as failed, as 
far as I know there's no explicit way to do that with meta:

- name: abort if string was found
  meta: end_play
  when: command is failed


It might be better to try the fail module since it will return the failed state 
you want:

- name: fail if string was found
  fail:
    msg: string was found!
  when: command is failed
