So basically your search returns matches as ids, and you link to
article.cfm?id=X or some such? If so, in your link, simply pass along
the search terms again. On your article.cfm, do (pseudo-code)...
<cfset data = the content from the database>
<cfif isDefined("url.searchTerms")>
<cfset data = use replace to replace searchterms matches with
<font color='red'>#searchterm...
</cfif>
<cfoutput>
#data#
</cfoutput>
