Create a VS2005 project (I assume you did this already, right?) and then add all the files to the project. Now you can hit CTRL + SHIFT + F to Find in Files. I think you can limit it to various file extensions from there. I think you could add the Python and XML files to the project, but you may have to add a build rule for those file extensions that says "do nothing".
I'm not very familiar with it either. I have my project set up to use a make file using nmake and VC++ 2003 Toolkit.
I use Eclipse for all my Python work. It's an IDE (integrated development environment) like VS in that it will handle various languages through plugins. Since Python is interpreted, there's no build step. Instead I export the changed files to my CustomAssets folder. In Eclipse I have many projects created: BUG, BAT, Core Assets, SDK, etc. The last two are only for searching similar to the above.
