It asks for a search term, which it matches against the name (title) of each tab, and optionally also the entire terminal contents. If there's more than one match you select them from the list (by a combination of the terminal title, and the last line of text found in the terminal). The selected terminal is raised to the front and switched to the appropriate tab.

To set this up, look in Applications, then Utilities, and run "AppleScript Editor". Cut and paste the above program into a new window there and save it as "Find Terminal Session" (or whatever name you like), and place it in your home directory, under Library/Scripts. Then in the AppleScript Editor Preferences, check the box "Show Script menu in menu bar (I also uncheck "Show Computer scripts", which would show lots of system scripts you might not want). You'll get a script menu in your menubar with your new script in it. Just select it to run it.
This script has an older brother which does roughly the same thing for Safari windows and tabs: Find Safari Tabs.
And if you're wondering how I converted the AppleScript Editor formatted program into HTML, I also do that with software. I can convert any copied text that has formatting into HTML.
