there is an application by the name of catdoc, which extracts text from MS Word file. Just grab the text and search for any thing you want.

Some time back , i faced the same problem.Atlast i found an workaround for this. It goes like this....
read ur word document as an character array and convert buffer into hexa string and also the string u want to search ... then do an index of two strings ..now u got the starting pos of the word u want to find .....
