Changing search results highlight (background) color

[Daryl Gerlach]

I'm using the Jahia 5.0.1 built in search. How do I change the highlight 
color (background) from #FF00FF? I see from the generated code that a 
style is explicitly set on the tag, therefore I can't over-ride in my 
own css. What generates the span tag in the following search result HTML 
snippet:

<span class="searchHighlightedText" style="font-weight:bold;font-size:larger;background:#FF00FF">rooms</span>
