findAll() is deprecated! You can use findAllAsync() from API16 onwards in a simple manner like this:

webView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
            @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN)
            @Override
            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
                if (searchText != null && !searchText.equals("")) {
                    webView.findAllAsync(searchText);
                }
            }
        });
