Yes. I think if I were going to do this, I'd have my script use Scriptable
Text Editor. It handles layout, scrolling, etc., the script just has to
tell it to open the file, then to highlight (make bold for instance) the
matching words.

While still not a trivial task, *much* easier than doing all the Mac
interface stuff.
