Whoa!  Darrel's & Berthold's ideas for a hypertext previewer send me giddy,
but was the original question reaching so far?

If a command line solution is adequate, ie interactive highlighting isn't
needed, then how about a DVI processor?

	process -highlight "very important text" THAT.DVI | preview

Two reasons why this is feasible:

1.  EmTeX's previewer, "dviscr", already searches for text.
2.  After looking at the DVI standard, level 0, draft 0.5,
	the idea _looks_ readily feasible.

One reason why I boobooed:

3.  If the standard input comes from the DVI processor's output stream,
	then where do the user's instructions go?
