jQuery.fn.highlight = function (pat) {
    function innerHighlight(node, pat) {
        var skip = 0;
        if (node.nodeType == 3) {
            var pos = node.data.toUpperCase().indexOf(pat);
            if (pos >= 0) {
                var spannode = document.createElement('span');
                spannode.className = 'highlight';
                var middlebit = node.splitText(pos);
                var endbit = middlebit.splitText(pat.length);
                var middleclone = middlebit.cloneNode(true);
                spannode.appendChild(middleclone);
                middlebit.parentNode.replaceChild(spannode, middlebit);
                skip = 1;
            }
        }
        else if (node.nodeType == 1 && node.childNodes && !/(script|style)/i.test(node.tagName)) {
            for (var i = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; ++i) {
                i += innerHighlight(node.childNodes[i], pat);
            }
        }
        return skip;
    }
    return this.each(function () {
        innerHighlight(this, pat.toUpperCase());
    });
};

jQuery.fn.removeHighlight = function () {
    return this.find("span.highlight").each(function () {
        this.parentNode.firstChild.nodeName;
        with (this.parentNode) {
            replaceChild(this.firstChild, this);
            normalize();
        }
    }).end();
};

Then Add this Script in Head Tag and add TextBox ID in third line..

Dnt delete ClientID, write down it with ur textboxid..

e.g : var  value = document.getElementById('<%#urtxtboxid.ClientID%>').value;

  <script type='text/javascript'>

        function mark() {
            var value = document.getElementById('<%#TextBox7.ClientID%>').value;
            $('#GridView1').highlight(value);
        }
    </script>

Then Call Mark() Method from through javascript as ur wish... like 'onmouseover=mark();'  OR onblur="mark();" etc......
