I apologize I simply did not recall that we basically already put this together .... I feel bad about that ..... I went back over and looked at it .... and there it was ..........
   That being said .... I am going to check these out ....I already know from the previous code you did that its going to work ..... but will give it a go .... also thank you for the explaining the code as you did   .... I can not tell you how much that means to me ..... I learn so much from your post ....

   Ok ill be back in a bit

 $("#btn6").click(function() {
        var search = "David Caradine";
        $("#divResult:contains('" + search + "')").each(function() {
         
          // var regex = new RegExp('(' + search + ')', 'gi');
          // $(this).html($(this).text().replace(regex, '<span class="red">$1</span>'));

Julian most likely its me ........ but Ive tried both .... it is coloring the name searched for but it is giving me this order now ... did I mess it up


David Lion KillerMarshal
DillanDavid CaradinePenny
March

David Caradine is not bold as I show it here its red as we are aiming for but the order is as you see it now too instead of
David Lion Killer
Marshal Dillan
David Caradine
Penny March

I found the problem and fixed it changed $(this).text to .html ... it is working .......

$("#btn6").click(function() {
    var search = "David Caradine";
    $("#divResult:contains('" + search + "')").each(function() {
        $(this).html($(this).html().replace(search, '<span class="red">' + search + '</span>'));

    });
 });

This getting it done ........

In this case I felt these were the best solutions so the points go to Julian .....
Thank you Julian, seriously I learn every time you post ..... as for regex I guess it is in my future .... right now its HTML, CSS,  JQUERY, javascript ... my plate is full but I am working on it  :)   thanx again

You are most welcome.
