That was exactly the problem, thanks!

By default the highlighter only considers the first 50k of text. See

Obviously the larger the size, the longer highlighting will take. When I get no 
highlights, I find that the text matched was later in the doc.

Subject: Why doesn't highlighting work on this document?

I have a puzzling case that I don't know how to begin to debug. I present results with snippets highlighted, but it is not consistent, and it would be nice to know why some documents are returned without any highlighted text.

If you go to:

http://www.nines.org/search/saved?user=paul&name=tree

And look at the last entry on the page, (it should be titled "Nashe's Red Herring: Epistemologies of the Commodity in Lenten Stuffe (1599)")

you'll see that there is no text returned for that object. I looked in the solr index, and there is a fairly long text field, and in the middle of that field is:

"which the tree, for example, maintains its form as a tree (wood maintains itself in the specific form of the tree because this form is a form of"

That is probably what was matched, but why wasn't that text returned?

(I'm using solr 1.4 nightly build from Sept 25)
