I think you want the overload of the Replace method that uses
a MatchEvaluator as second parameter.

Thank you Hans for quick reply.

According to your post
This will make starting first characters capital... but i dont want that, I
want to retain the original state of the word. I am using this for site
search using Index server.

For more help,

Suppose user searches for keyword = Test
and suppose we found this keyword in the search result. The contents of the
file is <This is test>.

so if i apply your suggested post the result will be 'This Is Test' which is
wrong.
actaully what i want that It should show the result as
This is <b> test </b>
here the word 'test' should be bold and nothing else should change.

Thank you

No, that "first capital" is just an example to show that you have access to
the exact text found. What *you* should do is just take the text found and
surround it with <b> </b> tags. That way you preserve the casing.
