Thanks Erik,
What I'm looking for is to return the context of the search result,
not just the ID of the containing document - e.g. when all I input
is "yak culture," I get back the context from the document as a
search result, without having to retrieve the doc itself:
... addressing the fine points of <strong>yak culture</strong>, the
zoosociologists took into account ...
GS out of the box does not appear to support this, as it does not
store the fulltext in the index. So yes, I can highlight stuff, but
as it stands, I don't have the text to work with. IANA Lucene guru,
so correct me if I misunderstand.
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 full text in the Lucene index, but you do need it get it from
somewhere in order to be able to highlight it.
