Search for Highlighted Text Items

Is it possible to search all text info items containing text highlighted in yellow?

No.

One of the work-arounds that I do is to inline code pieces of text that I would like to be able to easily find. So ... for example, if I wanted to find certain text that I might highlight in yellow, I might put a .y before the text and a .y after the text. Then I can search for texts that have the .y (using quotes in the search, i.e., ".y").

And I could also use .b for highlighted in blue, or .i for important, etc.

In the search results, UPR highlights the query string in the item, so the .y is highlighted and I can easily find my text.

The obvious downside is visual clutter and undesired artifacts when you print the text, but usually these don't bother me much.
