Geany does not search the files itself, instead it uses the `grep` program (as 
the blue line at the start of the results shows) which has been optimised for 
decades to search lots of files quickly.  The output of grep is shown in the 
results pane.  Unfortunately grep does not provide any indication of which 
characters in the output matched, so there is no way for Geany to highlight 
them.
