Outside of Word, you can search through the raw XML of the document.
This is a very cumbersome answer.

Good app for mac to text message. For font colour
Alt symbols. Find what: *, Use wildcards, Format, Font, (choose Font color).
Note, this finds one character at a time (and one colour at a time). https://clipbrown898.weebly.com/blog/can-i-highlight-text-in-kindle-for-mac.
For highlighting (I'm not sure which you mean)
Find what: *, Use wildcards, select
* , Format, Highlight.
Note, this finds one character at a time but any highlighting colour at the same pass.

I know this is far outdated as a reply, but since more users could have a similar problem, this is my partial solution.
In versions of MS Word that use the Ribbon, click on the drop-down menu of the Find icon to choose the Advanced Find.In the new window locate the 'More>>' button and at the bottom, there is a label 'Find' with an option button Format. Click on it and chose 'Highlight' (though I have yet to find how to set the color in this short time I had to reply).
This edited answer is a more suitable workaround for something that apparently no one could answer so far, so I decided to keep the original answer (before the line above) as a reply to a question that fits most users that end up on this page (no point complicating what doesn't need to be complicated), and elaborate on a new one.
Taking into account on what is stated in MSDN (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vba/word-vba/articles/find-object-word) one can retrieve the following information:
The Find.Execute method does not have any regards to highlight, as in itself highlight is not a format, as the name indicates, it's just a highlight.
The Find.Highlight property only admits the normal Boolean (
True , False ) and wdUndefined (ignoring highlights), and as such doesn’t allow specifying a color.
The Find.HitHighLight method applies to Outlook objects but can be used in Word to find and remove highlight (but again not to specify a specific color among several colors), for example,
ActiveDocument.Content.Find.HitHighlight FindText:='text to find'
With the previous statements one can indeed find it impossible (or at least to me) to find different colors without a complex macro that compares each character to the default color of highlight (which I'm sure not going to make..) or editing the file code (which is a good solution, in my view, so kudos for the user that posted it, but as the user stated a cumbersome answer to most users of Word). In my opinion, there's a more suitable and easy workaround using the far easier to use Advanced Find with the Style option.For that you have to use a Style with Shading instead of the highlight (or combining both).
So using my previous instructions, besides the Highlight option, you can also use the Style option to search for a previous added style(s) with the same color(s) you want to find, or if you prefer a shading color and a highlight of the word for a more complete and narrowed search.

Is there a keyboard shortcut key to select all the text in the current cell in Excel, if you are in the process of editing the cell?

Note that in later versions of Excel, the “Windows” equivalents, made by substituting the alt for control, also work.

The quickest way I've found is the following:1) tab/select the cell, 2) hit backspace to delete the contents of the cell3) type Cntrl+Z to undo delete
When the undo function puts the text back into the cell, all text within that cell is automatically highlighted. Then you can just type Cntrl+C to copy text only.
I found that I needed to highlight all text in a cell in order to be able to paste it back inside another excel sheet whose cells already had other text that I had to leave intact.
Hope this helps!

The great thing about copying the contents of the cell rather than the cell itself is to grab the contents without any formatting (plain text). It really should have a one-step shortcut, but to my knowledge, it doesn't. Here's my workaround:
Select cell in question, hit any character to replace contents of the cell. Then hit ⌘Z to undo and boom, contents selected without any formatting!
A one-step shortcut workaround will require more effort, but can be achieved with the following Keyboard Maestro macro:

I read this as 2 questions.
Q. Is there a keyboard shortcut key to select all the text in the current cell in Excel?
A. command+c for Mac or control+c for Windows while the cell is selected. Choose a new cell and command+v or control+v to paste.
Q. How to change text in illustrator. If you are in the process of editing the cell?
A. It is a two step process, command+a or control+a to select all, then command+c or control+c to copy.

Do you want to select all the text, or do you really just want to copy it to the clipboard? If you want to copy all the text in a cell and don't care if it's selected:
Click on a cell or navigate to it using the keyboard. Do not double-click or not enter edit mode. Do not try to select anything. If you are already in edit mode for some reason, hit Esc.
Now just hit CMD-C.

There is no direct way. Please refer the official page for this.
Use of native methods (go to end, use SHIFT+Arrow keys).. wondering why ^A is not supported there. MS S**ks sometimes.
