The basic approach of implementing that would be:
* Implement a public slot "highlightAll(const QString &txt, Find::FindFlags findFlags)" in Core::OutputWindow that highlights all occurrances (you seem to already have some code for that)
* In e.g. ProjectExplorer::Internal::AppOutputPane::createNewOutputWindow, instead of 

(line 338ff)
     Aggregation::Aggregate *agg = new Aggregation::Aggregate;
    agg->add(ow);
    agg->add(new Find::BaseTextFind(ow));

do

     Find::BaseTextFind *textFind = new Find::BaseTextFind(ow);
     Aggregation::Aggregate *agg = new Aggregation::Aggregate;
    agg->add(ow);
    agg->add(textFind);
    connect(textFind, SIGNAL(highlightAll(QString,Find::FindFlags)), ow, SLOT(highlightAll(QString,Find::FindFlags)));

* enjoy ;)
