Is there some established way to ensure that the snippets shown with MediaWiki 
search results will not include raw Wiki markup?  I've looked around and found 
others noting this issue for both the "Lucene search" extension:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/778166/mediawiki-lucene-how-to-strip-markup

...and the default search mechanism:

  
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Search_issues#.22Search_Results_Show_Markup_Junk.22
  
http://www.searchtools.com/analysis/mediawiki-search/5-mw-search-stinks-shows-markup.html

Unfortunately, none of these mention a working solution.

Would it be best to use the rendered HTML output of Wiki pages to generate 
these snippets?  That seems like the only way to be sure that you're properly 
transforming any Wiki text (and handling the syntax additions of any extensions 
you may have installed, etc).  If so, is there any publically-available code to 
make that happen?

Thanks,
Jamey
