I use character styles for this. Create a character style, enable underlining, set width and offset, and pick a colour and tint such that you get a bar behind the text that highlights the text and still leaves it readable. Then do a Find/Change to apply the character style to whichever text you want.

In CS4 you could use GREP styles for this. The advantage is that any existing character styles applied in your document are left alone by the GREP Styles.
