Ferret talk - Nov 2006 - highlighting with find_by_contents

I''m trying to highlight keyword snippets using the highlight method of 
the results returned from find_by_contents (the actual models), but 
always come up with an empty array. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Have you defined the field(s) as storable?

You need to set up your fields with acts_as_ferret. This is how I have mine
setup (still learning Ferret and AAF so may not be totally correct but
highlighting works):

acts_as_ferret( :fields => {
? :name => {},
? :desc => {},
? :body => {:store => :yes},
? :role => {},
})

This allows me to use the highlighting with the "body" field. The
other ones still can''t highlight.

Thanks Curtis and Jens. That worked great (after rebuilding index)!
