Hi Erik, Would that slow performance a bit? For example, say I receive 50,000 hits from a search. From your explanation, I have to retrieve the DB id from each hit, perform a query to the DB using the id to retrieve the full contents for each hit, run highlighter on each content, and then return? Although I'll give this a shot, it will seem to slow performance on the searching side of things, wouldn't it? Thanks for the reply.
