Finding strings within text field

[brewzzer]

Novice needing help. A lot of my text fields contain lengthy text blocks. Is there some way to execute word-processor-like searches WITHIN a text field, resulting in highlighted occurrences of the string, or some other means of quick identification? 

 

In case clarification is needed: Say, I want to see every occurrence of the string "elections" within my database. I start by doing a basic Find for "elections" in the appropriate field. Now, I have a found set. But, since my text blocks are very lengthy, it takes alot of eye-balling to find the the string "elections" within the entry as I browse each record in the found set. Ideally, I'd like each occurance of the string to already be highlighted upon browsing the record, but I understand that's probably not feasible. I'd be happy even if I had to re-type the string in a search box as I browsed each record. At the moment, I'm resorting to copying the text blocks, pasting them into Microsoft Word, then searching for the string. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
