In MacOS 9, the OS provides "Sherlock", which can search file names, 
file contents, and use internet search engines.  

To do unix-style "regular expression" searching, use the "Search" or 
"Find" menu items in applications like BBEdit, TexEdit, the CodeWarrior 
IDE, or the 'find' (IIRC) command MPW Shell (which has a rather 
different syntax).
