If she was happy to move her files over the Google Drive then to find the documents she would simply type the name in the Drive search box and it would list all documents in which the name appears (frighteningly quickly!). Then she'd need to go into each document in turn to find the passage where it appears.
I don't think there's a way to display the passage from each document in one search.

Thank you.
I haven't had time to look further into it yet.
It may also be that her descriptions of what she is doing aren't exactly correct.
On the Win7 machine, the drop box is "shared" directly to the machine and is searched by the normal Win7 search routine.
I have to find out what she means by "finding the name embedded in the surrounding text." (I will have to observe this phenomena first hand.)
