I have read the highlighting section at
http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial#highlighting

It mentions that for highlight to work I must have {:store => :yes}.
However it also mentions that only "small" fields should be stored.

My question is how small is small enough.

I have a site where events information is maintained. I have events
title and events description. On an average the description is of 60
words and around 300 characters.

When search is performed I want to display the excerpt of description in
highlighted fashion. For that to work I need to {:store => :yes} the
description field.


What is the recommended practice. How others are displaying the
description highlight. I am leaning towards storing the whole
description. Is 60 words too many words?
