I created a search bar in a PHP file, that searches my ES index (using the ES PHP client) and shows the results back on it. I want to highlight the searched term in the results like this random image I found online:

Here is a part of the [code](https://gist.github.com/sy92/d2bb092dfd404fec3cd3f5f1d0af2352). I can't figure out how to achieve the above functionality.
