There is an issue in Android issue tracker about this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9018

I placed this code right after WebView.findAll(), and it made highlighting working:

try
{
    Method m = WebView.class.getMethod("setFindIsUp", Boolean.TYPE);
    m.invoke(webView, true);
}
catch (Throwable ignored){}
