Search text in document of sharepoint library

Question

I am trying to write a program which will fetch the word document from sharepoint library and check if a metadata(term set) e.g.
"Movies" exists in the document or not. I need to know if there is any way I can read a document? Currently I get search to use interop assembly. I have to download the document on the server for that, Is there any other way in which I can read document
from the library itself without downloading and check if the word "Movies" is present in it. Using Sharepoint 2013.

hi
the way you choose is too complicated: you will need to open the documents by yourself programmatically and analyze its content. Standard Sharepoint search crawler is already integrated with Office documents (and in 2013 version with pdf without additional
configurations), i.e. when it crawls the content it checks not only documents names but also content inside these documents.
So if you only need to display list of documents based on the search query, use OTB search. If you need to do something with the search results programmatically, you can make search queries programmatically and then process the returned items in the code
(see e.g.
Programmatically working with Keyword Search Queries in SharePoint 2013).
