Geany does not search the files itself, instead it uses the grep program (as the blue line at the start of the results shows) which has been optimised for decades to search lots of files quickly. The output of grep is shown in the results pane. Unfortunately grep does not provide any indication of which characters in the output matched, so there is no way for Geany to highlight them.
