It would be nice to have the ability to search for a specific string in a word document and have a flow run on that particular file. When using File Contents dynamic content it is the encoded version of the file which is not searchable, it just looks like a bunch of garble.

Hi @reinhart97,

I am afraid that currently it might be not possible for Microsoft Flow to search for a specific string in a document and have a flow to run on that particular file.

May I suggest you submit a request on Flow Ideas Forum so that it might be considered in the future releases:
