Hi Marcus,
If you can read java the best way would be to check out the
highlighter in Apache Lucene and porting that code to Ruby. You can
see the highlighter module here;
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/java/trunk/contrib/
I'm going to do this myself eventually but you'll have to do it
yourself if you need it soon. Before you put too much work into it
though, be warned that there are possible major Ferret API changes
ahead.
Cheers,
Dave
