I have a huge .doc (Microsoft Word) file (several megabytes) and I need to search it on my iPhone. I have tried like 5 different editors and readers to no avail.

Is there any application that allows searching in .doc files?

Which specific apps have you tried already? And by doc you mean Microsoft Word I assume? – patrix♦ Oct 8 '12 at 5:21
Yes, microsoft word. I have tried Files, and couple other editors I don't remember as I deleted them. – Dvole Oct 8 '12 at 5:43
Do you just need to search/lookup or also to edit the files? – patrix♦ Oct 8 '12 at 5:53
@patrix only search and go to the page with found phrase – Dvole Oct 8 '12 at 6:01

I have found an app for that. It is called QuickOffice, it costs 14.99$ and I had to break file into three to make it work. But the search is there and it works.
