Swift 5

let attrStr = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "hi hihi hey")
let inputLength = attrStr.string.count
let searchString = "hi"
let searchLength = searchString.characters.count
var range = NSRange(location: 0, length: attrStr.length)

while (range.location != NSNotFound) {
    range = (attrStr.string as NSString).range(of: searchString, options: [], range: range)
    if (range.location != NSNotFound) {
        attrStr.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor, value: UIColor.yellow, range: NSRange(location: range.location, length: searchLength))
        range = NSRange(location: range.location + range.length, length: inputLength - (range.location + range.length))
    }
}

Swift 3

while (range.location != NSNotFound) {
    range = (attrStr.string as NSString).range(of: searchString, options: [], range: range)
    if (range.location != NSNotFound) {
        attrStr.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.yellow(), range: NSRange(location: range.location, length: searchLength))

    if (range.location != NSNotFound) {
        attrStr.addAttribute(NSForegroundColorAttributeName, value: UIColor.yellowColor(), range: NSRange(location: range.location, length: searchLength))
