How to highlight a word from the text in qtextedit in pyqt5 python?

Question

I'm creating a text editor in pyqt5 python. and I want to add the find feature like any other text/code editor. After entering a word or words in a find line edit; that word will be highlighted in TextEdit! how can do it in pyqt5 python [not in pyqt4 or any other programming language] my code:

class Ui_nms_pad(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Ui_nms_pad, self).__init__() 
        uic.loadUi('Nms_pad.ui', self)
        self.Find_Button.clicked.connect(self.Find_word())
    def Find_word(self):
        words = self.Find_lineEdit.text
        {highlight words in text edit}

                                                        scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

                                                        like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.""")
        
        w = QWidget()

        self.lineEdit.returnPressed.connect(self.find_word)

    def appendExtraSelection(self, tc):
        
            ex = QTextEdit.ExtraSelection()

        doc = self.textEdit.document()
        self.find_recursion(0)

def main():

    app = QApplication([])
    w = MainWindow()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

1. To use find function of QTextDocument.
2. To set QTextEdit.ExtraSelection for highlighting text.
3. To use find function as recursion to search for all target texts.
