Hi, I am having a problem where ferret.so is crashing which highlighting search results. The query string is "25,42,53,80,88,119,135,139,389,445,464,563,593,636,1441,1442,1444,1515, 1519,1527,1537,1546,3389". In the debugger I can see that the crash happens in search.c on line 907. The reason is that the excerpt->end field is -1. I think the reason is because in this code from search.c: for (e_start = e_end = 0; e_start < mv->size; e_start++) { const int start_offset = matches[e_start].start_offset; if (e_start > e_end) { running_score = 0.0; e_end = e_start; } while (e_end < mv->size && (matches[e_end].end_offset <= start_offset + excerpt_len)) { running_score += matches[e_end].score; e_end++; } pq_push(excerpt_pq, excerpt_new(e_start, e_end - 1, running_score)); /* - 0.1 so that earlier matches take priority */ running_score -= matches[e_start].score; } e_end is never being incremented beyond 0, so e_end-1 is stored as the excerpt. However I am not sure why that is. Anyway, thought this bug report might be useful.
