Search and highlight using JavaScript?

Using a regex rule for search a word in JavaScript

new RegExp("Keyword",'gim')

And replace the keyword by '<span class=\"Highlight\">Keyword</span>'

Defined a 'Highlight' css class for highlight the keyword.

<style>
.Highlight
{
background-color:#FF9;
color:#555;
}
</style>

JQuery 'unwrap()' methord is used for unwrap the previously highlighted elements.

Final code and demo is here
