Why not store the snippet in another field that is stored, but not indexed? You could then immediately retrieve the snippet from the doc. This would only increase your index by num_docs * size_snippet and would save the db access time and complexity. -Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
