Default jumping around a UITextView

I finally have a working search function. So you search and display the result (a string, usually very long (think book length)) on your screen. This makes it difficult to just read the part you were specifically looking for. I understand that you might not be able to edit the text in the view (so highlighting is out). I was thinking of adding a button, which when pressed, will jump to the next instance of the search word/phrase. Is it actually possible to accomplish this? I don't want to waste time trying to develop something impossible. Thoughts?

No suggestions? I'm already searching the source text string with the UISearchBar, that's how I know that the search string is there. Can I apply a similar principle here?
