Is there a way to batch a search within PDF's beyond what can be done with the advanced searching? We're looking at searching for key words over multiple directories and using the search results to then move those files to a new location. Is there a tool out there that would enable this?

Not by Adobe. It can be done using a stand-alone application of some kind... Have you tried the built-in search function of your OS, by the way? That's probably the easiest way of doing it, if it can search the contents of the PDF files.
