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?– nohillside ♦Oct 8, 2012 at 5:21

Do you just need to search/lookup or also to edit the files?– nohillside ♦Oct 8, 2012 at 5:53

The app "Documents" referred to above is a good option. It searches inside the documents whether the files are PDF, docx, etc… It sports a clean interface and plenty of remote connection options. And not to mention, it's free with no ads!
Give it a go and see if it fits your needs.
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.
there's a program called "documents" in app store (its free) that lets you search for the word you want =]
