Java Swing query

I have a Swing Panel where I search for a text and highlight it using yell开发者_开发知识库ow color.Its size is 1/4th of the screen(not sure of exact dimensions).When I search soemthing the first active search is highlighted and shown and whenever I maxmize the screen to full size the highlighted text is not visible.Now is there a way to keep the highlighted text visible all the time irrespective of whether I maximize or minimize the Panel

Does this help: http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=16674
