Part of the reason is that "on" is a stop word (at least in the default
english dictionary). That's why you get

and not "'play' & 'on-lin' & 'on' & 'line'". If you did get the latter
then you'd get a headline result with both parts highlighted, similar to
your "custom-built" case.

Dunno. It would seem reasonable to highlight the whole compound in
these cases, but I have no idea how hard that is.
Another thing that seems a bit odd here is that we seem to be stemming
the compound word as a whole, but not the individual parts. Not sure
how sane that combination of choices is ...
