Description
As you can see from the code, the 'highlight' method replaces each word instance with a element which has a different background making the word highlighted.
The problem is that the 'replace' mechanism is broken and it replaces the words even if they are inside an html element, thus messing up the UI entirely.
So if, for example, one of the words is "background", it would inject a element instead of every "background" including the one in the style of the previous element.
