google are rather good at dealing with problems of this scale
I think if I wanted to find a company with enormous experience in dealing with making keyword interfaces to huge amounts of data in almost realtime then it would be them.

Not really....
Depending on the length of the word list, scanning any text document for specified strings is pretty fast. Also they wouldn't be using standard servers for this, they'd be mahoosive clusters with like a 1000 quad core processors or something like, making the actual scanning a trivial thing.
