    VBA Code to search keywords, then highlight when found

    I'm certain this has already been asked, looked at some links wasn't getting the code to work

    would like to see a macro that i can use to highlight, color font, somehow make visible than all other text when found.

    I found this formula which tells me one of my keywords was found, however would like a macro to highlight or color the font of the specific keyword found

    =OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" " & $B$3:$B$67 & " ", " " & Y3 & " ")))


    currently i have about 60 keywords in 1 column (B) however could be in seperate workbook or i could add a new tab, if one works better, let me know please.

    workbooks i have to review have multiple tabs or worksheets, some with larger amounts of data than others. primarily i only need to search for my keywords in 1 column that has the bulk text information and replicate this search in the other tabs that vary on where the description is found.

    super appreciate any help with this
