You can use find or findstr for this purpose.
As you're already familiar with it, you might want to install a windows version of grep from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm
You might need to update your path in order to get it to work:
Start -> Control Panel -> System,
"Advanced" tab
"Environment Variables" button
Select "Path" in System variables, "Edit" button, add semi-colon and directory of your grep installation to the end of the existing text.

if perl then use attached code.
open(IN);
my @file = <IN>;
close(IN);
my $word = 'test'; ## the word to search
my $lines_found = grep(m|$word|i, @file); ## number of lines found having word `test` inside the file.
Perl would be overkill for this task, but if it was used, here's a more efficient 1 liner.
perl -ne "print if /some word or phrase/i" file.txt
