You need to change type of fields (title, pi, staus) from string to text (same as content field). There should be a match/hit on that field in order to create highlighted snippets. For example q=title:submit should return documents so that snippet of title can be generated. FYI: You can search title, pi, status at the same time using http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler without copying all of them into a catch all field.
