OK - I understand your point. However - I believe that it can be both effective and useful, depending on the nature of the application and the users.
If the usual hl parameters to enable snippet highlighting for MLT interesting terms were available, you would have the choice to enable, disable and configure the snippet generation. With a given app and set of users, if it's distracting and confusing, you disable it. If it is useful, and provides valuable info given the context, you configure it. Any chance this feature could be available in the future? Eric On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 8:13 PM, Walter Underwood <wunderw...@netflix.com>wrote: > It can be pretty confusing.
