The OP didn't frame his issue in one phrase but two:
I need a simple script that searches a channel or pm window for inputted text. So, that way I can find where my highlights were triggered without having to scroll up slowly enough to see the different colored text.
Yes, how can I dare to think it's about the address book. He's probably coloring the lines on his own. Further I presumed that there may be more than one highlight entry; mere speculation about the fact that he used the word in pluralis... You exposed it finally.
If it weren't for the sake of the feature request itself and the underlying popular problem, I wouldn't have taxed the patience of this boards other readers. I've done with this thread, indeed I hope /findtext will suffice for the OP and is all he'll ever dream of, as the thread became a nice example for how to make a farce out of it.
Regards
