Does anyone have a suggestion for a hard Drive search tool, that can use a file (List) of terms to search on?

Question

I need to search my drive for about 200 passwords that could possibly be on my drive. Doing this one at a time is time consuming. I would like to find a tool that can accept a file, or a list of terms to incrementally search on.

Try using grep for Windows:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm

The command-line argument --file=<file> tells grep to look inside <file> for the strings to match. Full documentation here.
