Very Computer

I have been looking in vain for a search engine that will find a string
(inputted from a form) in a MS Word document.  They all seem to just accept
html and text.

Any suggestions,

You can use catdoc in addition to webglimpse:

http://webglimpse.net/docs/

I think with catdoc you could write scripts for feeding other search
engines as well.

I second the verity recommendation. There is an OEM version that comes with
Cold Fusion Server and it does a pretty good job. It Indexes MSWord files as
well as other file formats.
