I've gone for:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import glob, os

url = "/home/cherp/prddoc"
searchstring = "dxpolbl.p"
worddocs = []

for (dirpath, dirnames, filenames) in os.walk(url):
  for f in filenames:
    if f.endswith(".doc"):
      worddocs.append(os.path.join(dirpath,f))

for d in worddocs:
  for i in glob.glob(d):
    if searchstring in open(i,"r").read():
      print "Found it in: ", i.split('/')[-1]

Now... I want to convert this to a cgi-script... how do I grab
$QUERY_STRING in python?
