    That's much more difficult to create, because once the paper is scanned, it becomes an image. A text file obviously has many separate characters, but an image is simply one big character. To be able to search for text within an image isn't nearly as easy to program. With that being said, if you have a good scanner and the proper software (OCR capable), you can scan the wordsearch as a text file and then use the software listed earlier to find the words. Other than that, I'm not aware of any software that will search for words within an image.
