Finding the text of a element when some of it is highlighted

I am trying to make sure that the string I have searched is highlighted in the div, as sometimes it doesn't highlight all that I search for. The problem is, when it is highlighted I can't find it with 

'//div[contains(text(), "' + text + '")]'

as the element is split.

Example of an highlighted element:

<span _ngcontent -c58 class="cli">
<span class="yellow-highlight">12</span>
"34567"
</span>

With the example, if I try to find "123" I won't find it as it doesn't contain that exact text.

Ideas?

**UPDATE:

Ended up creating 2 lists, one is made of "yellow-highlight" elements and one is just with the original text. If the size weren't a match I figured there must be a problem and the highlight didn't go as planned. Thanks :)

You may use this,

driver.findElement(By.XPath("*//span[normalize-space(contains(text(),'123'))]"))
