You can do it easily with Java stream API. Assume you have the page like this (say you have saved the code to /tmp/texts.html):

<html>
  <head/>
  <body>
    <div id="root">
      <div>text 1</div>
      <div>
        <div>text 2</div>
        <div>text 3</div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

You now can do the following:

public void testList() {
    driver.get("file:///tmp/texts.html");
    List<WebElement> webElements = driver
            .findElements(
                    By.xpath("//div[@id='root']//div[not(child::*)]"));
    List<String> texts = webElements
            .stream()
            .map(webElement -> webElement.getText())
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
    System.out.println(texts);
}

This example demonstrates how you collect texts from the elements with a single stream expression.

P.S. - this [not(child::*)] part of xpath means we're taking the leaf nodes only.

As mentioned in the question you are looking for the alternative to the driver.findElements(). You can use JavaScript Executor as below to achieve the same.

    List<String> lst = new ArrayList<String>();
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
    Long length = (Long) js.executeScript("return document.getElementsByClassName('r').length");
    for(int i=0; i<length; i++) {
        lst.add((String) js.executeScript("return document.getElementsByClassName('r')[arguments[0]].innerText", i).toString().trim());
    }

You can iterate by for loop and check with your text

following code for java , what I am doing here is open google browser and typing as "TESTING" AND store all results and checking word as "Testing Types" and click that option 


    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import java.util.List;

public class GooglesearchTests {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Users\\User\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();





        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get("https://www.google.com/");
        driver.findElement(By.name("q")).sendKeys("Testing");
        Thread.sleep(Long.parseLong("1000"));
        List<WebElement> LIST = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//ul[@role='listbox']//li/descendant::div[@class='sbl1']"));
        System.out.println(LIST.size());


        for (int i = 0; i < LIST.size(); i++)
        {
            //System.out.println(LIST.get(i).getText());
            if (LIST.get(i).getText().contains("testing types"))
            {
                LIST.get(i).click();
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}
