Hi everybody,

After staring at the a_a_f API for quite sometime now, I decided it's
time to ask...

Which method should I use to get content from the index without using
highlight? Consider the following controller action:

def preview
  if params[:search].blank? # normal case
    @text = @myfile. # which method do I use here to get the :text from
the index???
  else # if we come from the search results page
    @text = @myfile.highlight(params[:search], { :field => :text,
:excerpt_length => :all, :pre_tag => '[highlight]', :post_tag =>
'[/highlight]' })
  end
end

I didn't store my text in the database, only in the index. When I'm
coming from a search I use the highlight method, so the term I searched
for gets highlighted, but how do I get the text from the index in a
'normal case'. The highlight method feels inappropriate, because I don't
want to highlight anything. I don't see what other method to use.

Thanks in advance!

Mischa.
