I need to highlight a word in a pdf. Is there a way to highlight all the search results that adobe finds. Example: Search for the word "law". Once it finds all the words, lets say 101 results, have adobe highlight those results... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Actually there is if you have the Pro version. You can run this 3-step action at: https://acrobatusers.com/actions-exchange/find-highlight-and-extract

The action searches for words or phrases in a PDF file, highlights the words using the highlight annotation, and then extracts each page containing a highlight annotation.
