While it might not be the best looking output, you can use agenda for
something like this. I don't know if you have familiarity with agenda or
not, so assuming you don't, the process would be like so:
- add your various files to your agenda list (visit the file and do C-c [)
covered here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Agenda-files.html#Agenda-files

- run agenda with M-x org-agenda or add this to .emacs
,-----
| global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
`-----
and then use C-c a.

- choose the "m" option for 'Match a tags/prop/todo query'

- type in your tag and observe the output. When I do this and insert a tag I
know exists all over, the resulting agenda view produces a list like so:
,-----
| Filename:  Headline-where-tag-occurs   :tag-I-searched:
| Filename:  Headline-where-tag-occurs2   :tag-I-searched:
| ...
`-----

- you can then write this list using C-x C-w to a file. Others may be able
to comment on more advanced exporting; I haven't used this feature yet
(other than knowing it exists) -- there may be a way to export to another
org file. Otherwise, you could run some sed commands and insert stars at the
beginning of each list or change ":" into ": |" to make an org table from
the output. I think once you have your exported list, you should be able to
do something with it to make it usable, hopefully.

I'll let someone else handle this... I was thinking 'grep ':.*:' files' but
that isn't working so hot...
