I would use a combination of SGREP and DOS FIND:
sgrep -fp "text to find" *.*| find "***FILE-NAME:">killfile.txt
killfile.txt will contain lines like the following:
***FILE-NAME: CIBOLA~1.PDF
***FILE-NAME: CORE-2~1.PDF
***FILE-NAME: CORE-2~2.PDF
***FILE-NAME: DS_SEA~1.PDF
***FILE-NAME: NEWEGG~1.PDF
which you can then parse using FOR.
Get sgrep here:

------- Included Stuff Follows -------
C:\Util\> sgrep
SGREP 2.5 (c) Copyright 1991,92 - California Software Design
Format: SGREP [-flcxep] "target(s)" {...@]file(s)...}
-f display FILE-NAME for finds only -l line numbers
-c case sensitive search -x no logo
-e return errorlevel only -p pause when screen full
-v verbose output
-o write output into file SGREP.OUT
@file indicates an ascii file containing a file list to process
Hex byte sequences can be used to search for special non-displayable
characters. They are specified using a pair of hexadecimal bytes
preceeded by a dollar sign,$.
EXAMPLES: $23include is the string #include
$252.50 is the string %2.50
$23$24$25 is the string #$%
Two targets may be specified using the & and | characters to
search for two targets. If the & is used the lines must contain
both targets. If the | is used the lines must contain one of the
targets.
Example: "save|main" line must have save or main to be listed.
"save&main" line must have save and main to be listed.
