It would be better if i could somehow use something like a textNode or
something as i need to locate the text string and find out what its parent
element is

maybe this is what you are looking for ...

        document.body.getElements('div').each( function(elm){
                elm.set(
                        'html',
elm.get('html').replace(/(searchterm)/g,"<span>$1</span>")
                );
        });
