There might be a couple of ways to do this using our [Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/data-explorer-plugin/32566).

- You could run this simple query and then click the CSV button to download all posts. Then, you could search across the exported file using a different program.

- You could write a custom [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) query to search for the keyword across all post content.

Using the [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) here would ensure that your data doesn’t leave the local network.
