    You could use window.find() that the browser offers. See here for more info.

    window.find(aString, aCaseSensitive, aBackwards, aWrapAround,
        aWholeWord, aSearchInFrames, aShowDialog);

    This is supported in Firefox and WebKit. For IE, there is a work-around here using the findText() method of a TextRange object.
