Now what i want is if i type JAVA in my search box i need to get all the documents that are having JAVA string in the doc files. If it is possible let me know how to get it.

Yes, but if you have a lot of documents, it may take a while to process the search. You would have to loop through all of your doc files, decode them to get their text, and do a regular string REGEX search in the document. If the search returns true, the doc file contains the string you're looking for, and based on that you can return your data.

I know this is a pretty vague response, but it is possible.

Antiword is a library that will allow you to read .doc files:
