Code:
grep -w $file_name$ $winfilename

$winfilename=info.txt
$file_name=myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.doc and extra $ as you suggested
grep as it is and i added -w option to test if it works.

ran:/home/vbe/wks $ SEARCH_S=myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.doc 
ran:/home/vbe/wks $ grep $SEARCH_S$ winfile.txt

03/25/2014  mycomp\royale1        myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.doc
ran:/home/vbe/wks $

And to match what you posted in #6:
Code:
ran:/home/vbe/wks $ INFILE=winfile.txt
ran:/home/vbe/wks $ grep -w $SEARCH_S$ $INFILE
