You can print to pdf on Windows as well. Select "Microsoft Print to PDF" as your printer in the print dialog (though you may want to turn of headers and stuff in the setting as it will try to make pdf look as close as possible to what the printer puts out). It will be searchable if the document was.

Also, Microsoft Word is a commercial product. For an actually free (in both software meanings of the word) there is for instance the LibreOffice office suite (where you get searchable PDFs from the "Export as PDF..." in the File menu).
