I am not even sure if this animal exists. However, I am doing research,
which necessitates reading copious amounts of very dry material. It would
be extremely helpful if I could do a keyword search for the entire article,
identifying only those parts of the article with particular relevance to my
work. Is there a program that can do this? Thank you, in advance

I find:
firefox
+ google toolbar extension
+ word highlight extension
to be a fantastic way of quickly searching through long bland text docs
(eg like firewall logs, or map file outputs from compilers). They
provide you with a fast way to highlight multiple words with different
colors, add words to the list and search for any/each of those words.
I've no yet seen any text file viewer that can beat this combo.

I use firefox and like the google search in the toolbar but how do you
get the highlight function to work? It works fine in IE with the google
toolbar add-on but not in firefox, at least not for me.

Thanks,
Dan

Put the highlighter button on a toolbar. Once there you need to click
it to turn it on. After you have used a search word in the search box.
It is a toggle so it is easy to have it "selected" off. Watch your
page with the search criteria in to see highlighting go on/off.
