We have a requirement that we think is a candidate for a Multi-Search or Named Queries - but we are not sure.

Say we are selling clothes.  
The user can enter a type of clothing such as Shirts and we bring back all the shirts using a filter.

We would also like to provide the user with an option of them typing in a keyword such as "formal" or "beach" etc. But this keyword should not effect the results but highlight which items in the results these keywords appear.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
