I have to do a research in TFS to identify all the sources in which the recurrence "word" is present. How can I do a general research in TFS, without mapping everything?

In TFS 2010? You have no choice, you have to grab all of the source code.
If you were to use a modern version of TFS (2017 or 2018), you could use the Code Search feature to easily do exactly what you're asking.

No such a built-in feature in TFS 2010.
Just as Daniel said you need to map the source code to local workspace then search with VS or other plugins/tools. Such as TFS Administrators Toolkit for VS 2010. Refer to this thread for details: TFS 2010 and VS 2010 searching code in source control
Alternately you can consider upgrading to TFS 2017 or later version. Code Search feature is integrated in them. See Search across all your code and work items for details.
