Hi!
Imho the highlight method is supposed to return nil when nothing to
highlight is there. In this case just retrieve the content of the field
with result.name or doc[:name] if working with Ferret directly.
I just checked with a plain Ferret script and it had no problems
retrieving field contents that were just a stop word. If we don't
get this to work there might be an aaf bug, though ;-)

What do you mean with 'loading the value directly'?
If you used aaf's :lazy => true option when searching, aaf would by
default not query your db in the first place, and only do so if you ask
for a non-stored field.
You can read more about this feature there:
