Unfortunately, the 32 bit grep for windows that I am running, I cannot run multiple instances of it or use the full potential.
I don't much about Windows, but I'm baffled by this statement. Why can't you run multiple instances of it?
Therefore I am trying to create a Perl script using Perl x64 can do the following grep: 
    grep -h %search_string% *.txt > retuned_Results.sl

Uhm, that's just one instance. Which, AFAIK, on Unix, doesn't use multiple cores either. And why doesn't it do what you want under Windows?

Of course, the Perl equivalent of the above is: 

perl -ne 'print if /%search_string%/' *.txt > retuned_Results.sl

but if the grep doesn't do what you want, I fear the above doesn't do what you want either.
