I've never tried it but I believe Google Desktop will do that.
As I understand it, it allows you to use the google search
engine to search your own hard drive, and apparently
a lot quicker than Windows own internal search.

One way is to:
Press (Windows Key)+F to start search;
Select All Files & Folders;
Insert the appropriate text you are searching for in the "A word or phrase
in the file";
Choose appropriate location in "Look in:";
Select "More Advanced Options";
In "Type of File" select "Microsoft Excel Worksheet"
You may also select the option "When Was It Modified?"
Hit Search!

Best of Luck
