Default Search and change text color or style only

Is it possible to use an input box (or other means of entry) to find and
change the properties of just the inputted text only within any column
selected? I have macros that change the cell color or all the text in the
cell, but I want to just highlight or bold or re-color the word of the text
I'm searching for. (i.e. If a cell contains "INSTALL FASTENERS WITH MPX 5-50
SEALANT PER BAC 4025 METHOD 3." I want to have the option to change the
appearance of just "MPX 5-50" or just "BAC 4025". I'm using Excel 2003.

I've used conditional formatting and been to Chip Pearson's site but can't
find the answer. Any help is greatly appreciated.
