How do I scroll a WebView to a specific point on Android

Question

I have a WebView and I would like my app to find a mark on the text(I'm using the symbol ► in the html).I have lots of html files each with almost 10 of these markings.

I have done it pretty easily with TextView doing this:

    int offset=texto.indexOf("SPECIFIC MARKING ON TEXT");   
    final int line = textview.getLayout().getLineForOffset(offset); 
    final int y = textview.getLayout().getLineTop(line); // e.g. I want to scroll to line
    final ScrollView s = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.ScrollView01); 
    s.post(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            s.smoothScrollTo(0, y);
        }
    });

But how do I accomplish that on Webview ? The reason I use Webview is due to better text formatting.

In fact, it's even simpler with a WebView. You can use the findAll method for the first occurrence, then findNext(true) for the following markers. The view will automatically scroll to the requested text.
