Hi @nticaric, thanks a lot for your reply, I make it after refer to the link you gave me and the source code of tntsearch.

I think is good to give the code below as reference to others(actually from source code tntsearch\tests\support\HighlighterTest.php):

    use TeamTNT\TNTSearch\Support\Highlighter;
    
    $hl     = new Highlighter;
    $text   = "This is some text";
    $output = $hl->highlight($text, "is text", 'em', ['wholeWord' => false]);
    $this->assertEquals("Th<em>is</em> <em>is</em> some <em>text</em>", $output);

    $output = $hl->highlight($text, "is text", 'em', ['wholeWord' => true]);
    $this->assertEquals("This <em>is</em> some <em>text</em>", $output);

    $output = $hl->highlight($text, "this text", 'em', ['caseSensitive' => true]);
    $this->assertEquals("This is some <em>text</em>", $output);

    $output = $hl->highlight($text, "this text", 'em', ['caseSensitive' => false]);
    $this->assertEquals("<em>This</em> is some <em>text</em>", $output);

    $output = $hl->highlight($text, "text", 'em');
    $this->assertEquals("This is some <em>text</em>", $output);

    $output = $hl->highlight($text, "text", 'b');
    $this->assertEquals("This is some <b>text</b>", $output);

Thanks again!
