Question

this is my problem too

Answer 1

Technically, this:

var search = $('body').html();
search = search.replace(/Phrase/g, function($1){
    return('<span style="text-decoration: line-through">' + $1 + '</span>');
});


$('body').html(search);

should do it. This example would strikeout every appearance of "Phrase" in the whole body.

Executing it on the document body is maybe a bad example. I would recommend to execute it on a specific element.
