I have million of files (mainly Word, PDF and PowerPoint) in my computer and I need to find files that contain a particular piece of text. Currently I am using the Search features built-in to Windows XP and search for files by filename and extension only. This process is very slow and time consuming. Are there any well-known utilities able to search the contents of files very quickly (without prior indexing)?

An index search is always faster, and if search is slow (because you have say a 5400RPM drive) using a tool like dtSearch may not be any faster it will just have better features.
