Interactive video transcript with search feature

Hi,

I've recently built an interactive transcript feature for our video player
in our courses. Part of this is the ability to search the transcript. All
search matches are denoted by a mark tag. Should I give assistive tech and
keyboard users a way to jump from match to match? I was thinking that they
would jump to the beginning of the segment with the match. Would that be
helpful or confusing? If helpful, are there industry standard keys for
next and previous in search results?

Thanks,
Mike
