Is there a way that I can have a page do some highlighting based on a set of
given keywords?

The scenario is that a user does a search for certain keywords, and then the
items returned have the words that cause them to be a match highlighted as
the user looks through the item.
 
Yep, you can use filters on the output...

I've never done it - (of course) :-)
but i remember reading that you can place a filter on
outgoing documents. you could then do string replacement
on the output stream.
 
Actually, given the ability to parse the response a CSS declaration
such as a span including a class that defined a background color
would meet the requirement...

<span class="TextHighlight">the words</span>

You could always just surrounding the words on output with html tags
containing the word <strong>the words<strong/>, uisng a regular expression
replace, or string replace
