Hey you can achive this through Grid Data Bound…

 public TextBox txtSearch = new TextBox();
 txtSearch.Text = "Goswami";

protected void grd_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{           
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        foreach(TableCell tc in e.Row.Cells)
        {
            tc.Text = tc.Text.Replace(txtSearch.Text, "<span style='color:Red;'>" + txtSearch.Text + "</span>");
        }
    }            
}
