Searching a page

I have a page that generates a list of names from a database.  There is a list of 300+ names so I am trying to make it easier for people to see if a name is on the list.  Currently, they press CTRL+F (or Edit > Find) and they type the name in to see if it's on there.

 

I'd like to embed a box that is similiar on the page so they do not need to press CTRL+F to bring the prompt up.

 

The other nice thing is it highlights the names as it finds them which would be nice.  Is there a javascript solution for this?  I know it could be done in PHP by making a search box and query the database but I was trying to avoid that.
