Default finding and copying lines of text

Hi everybody.

I am working on a LARGE document for the company i am working for.
there is about 150 pages of plain text. and each line is in bullet form.

what i need to do, for example, is find the lines of text containing, for instance the word "snake". I then need to copy every line of that result and paste into a new document.
ie.
cats meow
dogs bark
snakes bite
birds tweet
horses run
the taipan is one nasty snake
birds c@#p all over my car

now i need word to find the lines of text and copy the whole line of text not just the single word "snake"

is there a way i can do this?

cat.
