Olly, Thanks again very much for helping me improve my understanding of Xapian and Omega. Thanks especially for pointing out that my idea of trying to generate a snippet from stemmed text lacking capitalization and punctuation would probably not produce a user-friendly result. But I'm still doubtful that expanding the sample size could be the right way to obtain excerpts from the document

Hi, Thanks for creating Xapian and Omega. I have been amazed by how easy they make it to get a basic full-text search engine up and running. I'm wondering if you can help me better understand one aspect of the results I am getting from the default query template. Usually the snippet that's displayed in response to a query doesn't contain the word that the user searched for, even

Thanks Olly! But expanding the sample seems like the wrong solution. Is there a way to instead pass a hit or hits from the document to snippet generation? Michael
