Unfortunately these methods didn't help as I realized I've been using a more efficient method than the ones you've described. Still, that powershell example was interesting to learn, so thanks.I have an ultra-stupid method that doesn't need programming, and a method that's easy in an OS console context.
The stupid way: Notepad++ all the files then search "word" across all the files. Yes, but that's stupid.
A more efficient way: check out basic console syntax and scan a bunch of files for the string within.You must be registered to see the links. Linux has convenient tools for this to a greater extent.
The method I have been using I feel like is some extremely stupid shit but it works, it did help me with finding everything I wanted to find so far.
I've been using winrar's search feature on game's folders and notepad++ to edit files. Double clicking search results on winrar instantly opens the file in notepad++ and highlights the line I was searching for. The only issue with this method is I have to use notepad++ to know if the file contains more than one instances of the text I am searching for because winrar doesn't show that. That's where this method gets less efficient. If there are multiple files in search results that means I have to check each file for potential multiple search results. Maybe there are better, more efficient methods. IDK.
