I want to add a text box at the top of the form so that the user can search for any check box caption which contains the entered text. For example, when a user enters "fox", a method of the form will scan all check boxes and check if the caption has the word "fox." So far, it is all fairly easy to do.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but maybe you could compromise - if there is a partial match on a given caption, change the colour of the entire caption - or make it bold etc.

In a form with many checkboxes/captions, that would make them easier to find at a glance. It would let them see, "this checkbox matches your search". If their search string is something "slim" like "Il", that may be only a portion of a given caption, and be hard to spot.

Do you actually need to show the user why a given checkbox matches their search?
