Probably
(grep-find "Q:/Cygwin/bin/find.exe . -type f -name '*' -exec Q:/Cygwin/bin/grep.exe -nH -i blabba \"{}\" \";\""")
I don't have Windows, so I might have overlooked some Windows peculiarities. The above is translated from how it works on MacOS. Maybe the \" can be replaced by ' and/or \"{}\" by \\{\\} or '{}'
