Perhaps you are looking for the highlight-* commands, to keep things highlighted throughout the buffer whilst you perform other actions?

M-shC-h lists:

Global Bindings Starting With M-s h:

key             binding
---             -------
M-s h l         highlight-lines-matching-regexp
M-s h p         highlight-phrase
M-s h r         highlight-regexp
M-s h u         unhighlight-regexp

You can also use M-shr during an isearch to invoke highlighting for the current search term.

Tangentially, you can likewise invoke occur on the current search term with M-so

Use C-hC-hb during isearch to see all of the isearch bindings.
