Finding text word in IE with the use of the "ctrl-F" feature, but with code. Also, finding highlighted text.

As the titles says I am interested in finding a coding option to using the search/highlighting feature of IE. I am working with a heavily framed java database that I need to automate via VBA. I have tried the usual iframe/frame solutions to selecting text or clicking in textboxs, etc, but with no luck-I don't have the names of the frames or the number of levels. So the only thing I could think of without the use of actually mouse movement and clicking scripts or sendkeys is to use the default search/highlighting tool used in IE and hopefully find what was highlighted and by looping to the correct highlighted word activating it. Does anyone have a solution to what I am describing or an alternate option?

Thanks
