The application I'm currently working on has a Glossary model. The
Glossary table has columns for the term and its definition.

The application also has Pages which have content. The content needs to
highlight any words that match a term in the Glossary table.

Why are you using the server to do this, when you could use client processor to do the matching for you.
NOTE:
He just wants to highlight them and not show them as links.

If it had been links, I would have completely agreed with your approach.

There'll be a few ways to do this but I'd appreciate your advice on the
way you'd accomplish this.

create a helper that would parse the content of the page and would auto link

if a certain term corresponds to a glossary record.

if the pages are gonna be hit quite a lot, i suggest caching the list of words so

you minimize the number of hits to the db.
