I have a directory structure full of MS word files and I have to search the directory for particular string. Until now I was using the following command to search files for in a directory

find . -exec grep -li 'search_string' {} \;

find . -name '*' -print | xargs grep 'search_string'

But, this search doesn't work for MS word files.

Is it possible to do string search in MS word files in Linux?

linux unix ms-word
