You need to install the TMTOOLS plug-in in beforehand.

In principal: NO. There would be a way to change the syntax  
highlighting at runtime, i.e. find the tmlanguage file, rewrite it,  
reload all bundles, etc. but this is really an hack and it only works  
at your computer.

A interim and more general solution would be to use the 'Create HTML  
 From Document / Selection With Line Numbers' approach. Before the  
text is send to 'doctohtml.rb' enclose your search pattern by a  
unique start and end tag; change 'doctohtml.rb' in such a way that  
these start and end tags are replaced by e.g. <span bgcolor=lightblue  
onclick="txmt://open?line=LINE;column=COLUMN"> and </span>.
By doing so one should be able to see all instances of the search  
pattern and if one clicks at an instance one jumps to it.

Or if one only is interested to visualise all lines in an HTML window  
one could use my Hypersearch approach. It's based on the front end  
written by Henrik Nyh but instead of using grep it uses my onigrep  
(pure utf-8 Oniguruma regexp engine).
Please note: onigrep and the Hyperserach bundle are still under  
construction!
