It would depend on how large the file was, but
you might just suck the file into a StringBuffer,
convert it to a String and use the String.indexOf("searchword")
on it. You're probably better off using the API instead
of writing a search algorithm yourself.
Are you just trying to find if the word exists in the document, or are
you trying to do something complicated once you find it?
