its possible to crack hashed string with md5 and find orginal string.
Not really. The MD5 string is a representation of a 128 bit value. To say that you can find the original string from the MD5 value is like saying that there are only be 2^128 different combinations of data content possible (of length and actual data).

The best you can really do is come up with something that creates the same MD5 value as being searched for. There will be absolutely no guarantee that the data is the same as the original - Unless you have other clues.
