Meh, since I've had to do this in the past, I might as well automate it.
Here's a crude python script (python is available from
www.activestate.com):

It simply generates a batch file containing one 'svn cat' per file
listed by 'svn log --xml -v'. It's not smart enough to distinguish dirs
from files, so you'll see 'svn cat' complain about directories.

1. svn log --xml -v -r 1:999 svn://server/repos/some/where | python
svn_search_hack.py > search.bat
2. Open search.bat in your favorite text editor
2.1 search & replace {REPOS} with 'svn://server/repos'
2.2 search & replace {REGEX} with your findstr search pattern and
switches.
3. search.bat > results.txt
4. ???
5. Profit!

svn_search_hack.py
==================
import sys
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

log = ET.parse(sys.stdin)
#log = ET.parse('log.xml')

for logentry in log.findall('logentry'):

    for path in log.findall('logentry/paths/path'):
        # we only want to cat added or modified files. No point cat'ing
deleted ones
        if path.attrib['action'] == 'M' or path.attrib['action'] == 'A':
            print 'svn cat -r %s "{REPOS}%s" | findstr {REGEX}' %
(logentry.attrib['revision'], path.text)
