Hello,
Sorry for any cross-posting annoyance. I have a request for a
Greenstone collection I'm working on, to add context snippets to search

The Lucene Highlighter doesn't require that the text you want
highlighted be stored. In fact, you can pass in any arbitrary text to
the Highlighter.
See the various getBestFragments from the Highlighter class:

features like creating groups around specific themes and the ability to
annotate the Web pages you bookmark for future reference. You might want to
explore this feature and see if it is appropriate for what you

I'm a bit confused then. You mentioned that somehow Zend Lucene was
going to help, but if you don't have the text to highlight anywhere then
the Highlighter isn't going to be of any use. Again, you don't need the

It's not social bookmarking, but as far as But I'm thinking now about
the possibility of a search engine limited to sites cooperatively vetted by

I feel like a couple years ago a librarian(s?) created a Google Custom Search
Engine that did exactly what you describe as focused searching, but I can't
find a link any more. You can search the CSEs by scrolling down on this page
(and there are a couple of links to directories, too):
