how to find a word in a file that appears next to a given keyword

Hi Experts,

I have a file which contains some text. i need to print the word next to a given keyword. Please help.

Ex: test.txt
Code:
 
=====================
NEXT HOST
=====================
 AEADBAS001
access-list 1 permit xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ip access-list extended BLA_Outgoing_Filter
access-list 1 permit xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
access-list 2 permit xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If i use the keyword "extended" it should return BLA_Outgoing_Filter

NAME
apropos - locate commands by keyword lookup SYNOPSIS
apropos keyword... DESCRIPTION
The apropos utility displays the man page name, section number, and a short description for each man page whose NAME line contains keyword. This information is contained in the /usr/share/man/windex database created by catman(1M). If catman(1M) was not run, or was run with the -n option, apropos fails. Each word is considered separately and the case of letters is ignored. Words which are part of other words are considered; for example, when looking for `compile', apropos finds all instances of `compiler' also. apropos is actually just the -k option to the man(1) command. EXAMPLES
Example 1 To find a man page whose NAME line contains a keyword Try example% apropos password and example% apropos editor If the line starts `filename(section) ...' you can run man -s section filename to display the man page for filename. Example 2 To find the man page for the subroutine printf() Try example% apropos format and then example% man -s 3s printf to get the manual page on the subroutine printf(). FILES
