How can I cause the results of a query to show the searched-string with, say, a yellow background so the reader can easily find the reason why that record appeared in the report itself?

TIA Dennis
 
There's no easy way to do this. In order to control the background of a
specific word in a phrase, you'd need to use an RTF control, and you'd need
to programmatically reformat the text so that the specific word was
formatted differently from the rest of the text.
