Can you use this to basically cat the output and then you can grep the docx?

pandoc can do this

Maybe? I don't use Pandoc directly (fantastic program, but I only use it thorugh Quarto and Rmarkdown), but something like `doxx document.docx --export text | grep "search term"` should work just like `cat`+`grep`, but with better table structure and no intermediate conversion needed like pandoc.

With pandoc you can do this I think

pandoc -t plain file.docx | grep "pattern"

Even better you can have pandoc output markdown.
