how to highlight words or alphbets as user inputs in search?

Question

hi i am developing ajax search result.I want to highlight the words and alphabets which user inputs.I use jason api for result.I use regexp but it does not work. Code is:

 var string = data;//search result
 var string2 = keyword;//user input
 var regex = new RegExp( string2, 'g' );
 var pattern=string.match(regex);

for example If user type s in input box then all S should be bold in search result.Spain,Sweden like this or much alphabets and words as user inputs
