<<Plug alert >>
I am not affiliated with VESoft in any way.

The simple answer to your question is MPEX from VESoft.
%PRINT @;SEARCH=cl"string";KEEPAMDATES

which will do a caseless search for "string" in all files in the SOURCE
group. without changing the date.

<<End plug>>

If there are other similar utilities that don't change the access date
(which is a feature) I would like to hear about them.
