How do I get SOSL WITH HIGHLIGHT in Apex?

Question

Is it possible to get the highlight field from a SOSL search within apex?

For example:

List<List<Contact>> results = [
  FIND {text} IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING Contact(Id, Name) WITH HIGHLIGHT
];

Is there a way to get the highlight field containing the <mark>text</mark> tags? For example:

contact.get('highlight.Name');

Or is this only available when executing SOSL using the API?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it is available only in SOAP api and REST api as mentioned in the official documentation here in Supported APIs section:

The WITH HIGHLIGHT clause in SOSL is supported in SOAP API and REST API.
