Notebook: Enhancement - Is it possible to add highlighting of selected characters in the notebook?

Is it possible to add highlighting of multiple occurrences of selected characters in the notebook?

e.g. if I highlight a variable of xyz all occurrences of xyz are highlighted in yellow in the notebook.
