Here is mine: http://jsfiddle.net/x8rpY/1/

JS:

$('#searchfor').keyup(function(){
         var page = $('#all_text');
         var pageText = page.text().replace("","").replace("");
         var searchedText = $('#searchfor').val();
         var theRegEx = new RegExp("("+searchedText+")", "igm");    
         var newHtml = pageText.replace(theRegEx ,"$1");
         page.html(newHtml);
    });

CSS:

#all_text span
{
    text-decoration:underline;
    background-color:yellow;    
}

Works for repeated search also.
