Does anyone know of add on software that will do the following?

We'll be using Inktomi as the search engine. Let's say someone searches for "Florida". The search results page comes up, and the user clicks on the link of the page that they want to view. On the actual web page that comes up, everywhere the term that was searched for (in this case, "Florida"), is highlighted.

Any suggestions?

It sounds like you would have to pull the searched pages into your webserver (some how...) so that you could instantiate the server-side code necessary to perform the action.

These are all on our intranet, so not a problem.
