grep, maybe

Looking for some guidance;

I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and 
thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each 
folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find 
"moe", if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need to move 
(not copy) that entire folder (and it's 3~5 files contained within) to 
another location...

I'm thinking grep, but don't know the correct syntax to make all this 
happen.
I can easily find all the folders (1949 of them) and the word match 3923 
times within the text file(s)...


Any ideas???
