I am looking to do something similar to this plugin http://johannburkard.de/blog/programming/javascript/highlight-javascript-text-higlighting-jquery-plugin.html

But the problem I am facing is that the above plugin does not allow you to highlight words within html.

So if you are looking for my text

inside html like

this is <a href="#">my</a> text that needs highlighting

You will not get any highlighting.

Is there a way to highlight text while ignoring any html tags in between?

jquery highlight
