Answer 1

You can get colors as shown here

If you are not using Windows you could try termcolor to do something like this:

from termcolor import colored

text=input("Enter search word :")
with open("demo.txt", "r") as searchfile:
    for line in searchfile:
        if text in line:
            print(colored(text,'red').join(line.split(text)))

Example:

s = "123 321 123 321 123"
print(colored("321",'red').join(s.split("321")))

With output:

If you do use windows, you could still run the same code as above, as long as you add the following two lines at the beginning of your script:

from colorama import init
init()

Both libraries are pip-installable and lightweight.
