The basic problem is that, with an appropriate index, you can optimize a search on the BEGINNING of a text, but not a search on ANY PART of a text. There are third-party tools that allow you to create separate indices, or you could create them yourself - the idea would be to create a separate, indexed, file that includes every word in the main file. But that is fairly complicated, especially if you want to do it yourself.
