I'm not sure how this works to put up a reply, but having the same problem, I found a solution not included in the followups:

c:\cygwin\bin\find.exe . -name "files to search pattern" -exec c:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe "search string" '{}' \; -print

c:\cygwin\bin\find.exe . -name "files to search pattern" -exec c:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe "search string" '{}' ; -print
<working search results>
