Dunno if this helps, but if the string concerned is a function/procedure
name you could run `etags' on that directory, so it will generate a TAGS
file containing xrefs of these. You could then use Emacs or Vim to
browser through the code, and when your point's on a func you can do
`M-.' under emacs to get to the func's def.

Another app that's GUI-ish is regexxer, which I think is found in Gnome
2.
