Filter function problem. Any thought?

New to excel and working on a library of book quotes, see example.

I need to be able sort by key word, if i merge the list of key word for each quote and input a word search filter it doesn't work since some quotes/notes have multiple lines. I need it so when i search a word that all information in regards to the related quote shows. note the left hand column indicates a shift in quote.

here is an example I want to see information about Kvothe. so all of these should show up.

This is beyond my ken. Maybe there is a simple answer or it's more complected then I think.

Thanks.
