You could try something like this I just hacked up: http://frankenstein-plugins.tiddlyspace.com/#HighlightSearchTextPlugin
This updates the wikifier to highlight the last searched phrase. Only tried it with the default search engine. It might work for your use case but would need a bit of love and work to be better. It might crash large TiddlyWiki's. Also the regex doesn't take into account whether the term is a macro etc.. Search for experiment in http://frankenstein-plugins.tiddlyspace.com to see how it works. Hope the plugin can be a good starting point to do what you want to do.
