Show excerpt when searching for a keyword in Google Drive's files

$

In a Google Drive folder I have approximately 500 documents (Google Docs & PDFs mostly) for which I would like to perform a keyword search and have Google Drive to show (at least) the first excerpt in which that keyword appears for that specific file. Example: I search for the word "Kennedy" with the intention of looking for the files that mention "John F. Kennedy" instead of a person that shares the same surname (e.g., book author).

This is with the objective of having some additional context on keyword-searches so that I can already decide which files are valid for my search.

Since Google Drive doesn't provide this natively (that would be the ideal scenario), I would like to explore two options:

  • A Google Drive add-on that enhances Google Drive's search functionality.
  • An application that I install in my machine (or web based) that acts as a Digital Library Management tool. Have been checking Mendeley and Zotero but they don't seem to work that well in this regard.
