Hi Pat, I wasn't using wildcards, because I want it to return partial matches without the user typing "*" (especially with autocomplete). So I only set: :min_infix_len => 1
After adding :enable_star => 1 all search results have excerpts, so that's good. As a workaround, I can simply add "*" to all search queries in the controller so the user doesn't have to type "*".
