Your filesystem search of your working copy may suffice for this. Unlike
most (probably) VSS usage, typically you have the whole working copy
downloaded to your computer.
Failing that, a quick script that did this:
1 - did a "svn ls -R http://servername/repository/path"
2 - gathered that list of files and for each did a "svn cat"
3 - piped the output of that into grep
this is liable to be somewhat slow...
of course, this is on a unix box, or perhaps a Cygwin environment - I know
of no graphical tool or windows tool that does this. Maybe this should get
redirected to the TortoiseSVN mailing list? Or perhaps, a nice addition to
the svn client...

I don't think anything like that is built-in. You can write a post- commit
hook which takes such data and writes it into a database of your own
creation (a MySQL database, say) for which you can then write a frontend
to enable you to conduct the queries you want.
Perhaps someone has even written such a system already that you could use.
