You can use my highlight plugin jQuiteLight, that can also work with regular expressions.

To install using npm type:

npm install jquitelight --save

To install using bower type:

bower install jquitelight 

Usage:

// for strings
$(".element").mark("query here");
// for RegExp
$(".element").mark(new RegExp(/query h[a-z]+/));
