onmouseover

When you are doing the matching using jQuery, you could change the content of pages, in such a way that each matching word (highlighted word) is like an anchor tag or simple text, which when hovered over, can do two things via jQuery: 

1. Fire an ajax call to the server, asking for the description of the name.

or

      2.  Send the description alongwith the names in json format, and when hovered over, display the description from the json object you have.
