You might try the -H option to grep.  It produces output like this,
which might be a cleaner output:

$ grep -H 'Senator' *.qif
cash.qif:PSenator Inn
cp91.qif:PThe Senator Inn & Conf Ctr
cp92.qif:PSenator Inn & Conference Center
cp.qif:PThe Senator Inn & Conf Ctr
cp.qif:PSenator Inn
cp.qif:ASenator Inn & Conference Cente
