Install Notepad++. There's a portable version, too, if you don't want it cluttering your programs.
  1. Select Search - Find in Files
  2. Input the relevant parameters (search text, file filters, directory, case sensitivity, etc)
  3. Click on Find All

Screenshots are attached for reference.

For me, Notepad++ (or similar text editors) is the easiest option since I sometimes have to search through hundreds of different ebooks (typically for lines that I remember but didn't annotate/lost the annotation).
