You cannot scan content of a file without reading it:
string content = File.ReadAllText(path);
if (content.Contains("word"))
{
// Text is found
}
else
{
// Text is not found
}
You might consider using a regex:
if (Regex.IsMatch(content, @"\bword\b", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase))
{
// Word is found
}
else
{
// Word is not found
}
