The highlighter code in sandbox can facilitate highlighting of text *extracted* from the PDF, however it does nothing for you to highlight search terms *inside* of the PDF. For that you will need some sort of tool that can modify the PDF on the fly as the user views it. I know of no quick and dirty tool that allows you to do this, though there is quite a few projects and products which allow you to manipulate PDF files which likely can be used to obtain the behavior you are looking for (with some effort on your part).
