You're going to have to script that, certainly.
You could use robocopy or xcopy or do the whole thing in powershell, but no
native tool provides the logic you want without some form of scripting.
For instance, assuming that you were going to start in the C:\TEMP folder,
and search for "something":
@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /f "tokens=*" %%v in ('dir /ad /b /s C:\Temp\*.*' ^| FIND /I
"something") do (
SET @DIR=%~fpv
ECHO Copying !@DIR!
XCOPY !@DIR! D:\SomeDestination /S /E /R /Y
)
