Searching free form text

I have a large database with over 50,000 records. I have a Word file with my notes organized in (mostly) free form text in paragraphs.

When I display a record from the database, I would like to (run a script to) check in the Word file and have the relevant paragraph(s) containing that search term displayed in a field.

The word file is less than 100KB, so one option may be to import it as a field into every single record in the database. But that still leaves the problem of identifying the relevant paragraphs without an additional search.

Is this possible?.

Thanks so much.
