convert search result to array with toArray() method (see here) and then iterate through results and use str_replace to replace searched word with <span class="highlight">your word</span>

after this you will have $post['title'] (instead of $post->title) with highlighted span inside

of course you must add .highlight with some styling in your css

$posts = Post::where('title', 'like', "%$keyword%")->get()->toArray();
foreach($posts as &$post){
  $post['title']=str_replace($keyword,"<span class='highlight'>$keyword</span>",$post['title']);
}

PS if you don't want to convert results to array you can edit tile in eloquent model directly but I prefer arrays to be certain that I don't save changes accidently
