Not easy:

  Split the text into words (using e.g. a splitter).
  Stem the resulting words (not too difficult in English,
  may be much more difficult in other languages, e.g. Finnish).

  If your glossary terms are single words, you can look them
  up already.

  Otherwise, you find candidates for phrases. You need
  more analysis to check whether the occurences are really
  instances of your glossary term.

You would probably not do it fully dynamically but only
after changes or periodically at night/weekend.
