Try it without the \ before the ;
c:\cygwin\bin\find.exe . -name "files to search pattern" -exec
c:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe "search string" '{}' \; -print
/usr/bin/find: missing argument to `-exec'
c:\cygwin\bin\find.exe . -name "files to search pattern" -exec
c:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe "search string" '{}' ; -print
<working search results>
