I took a look at star_patterns early on, and I don't think it is going to
go as far as I need it to. Each document has several images associated with
it, and I need to produce them within the search results on the fly as they
are subject to change. I would like to be able to create other variables,
similar to the existing TITLE and EXCERPT to be used in the template files.
Any information on where these are created, and/or tips on setting up my
own would again, be greatly appreciated.
