Retrieving message body (or snippet) through API V1

Question

So, I am trying to mimic the results of our online search using API calls.

Currently, I am making an API V1 call to query for the top 5 posts.

I would also like to list a snippet from the message body below each link.

(A brief 2-line summary similar to what is done in the online search.)

Is this possible?

If so, what would be the easiest way to accomplish this?

tmosher - You can fetch the body and use substring to show may be 120 chars.
