You could put the groups of PDFs into separate folders and then use PDF-Xchange Viewer to just search the PDFs in that particular folder. PDF-Xchange Editor can do the same, with some extra search functions. Same could be also done with Agent Ransack, with the added benefit being that the contents of the entire paragraph are shown where the search term occurs.
