As I am writing in perl (using WebService::Solr) I found the workaround to use the Search::Tools module for highlighting "manually" in those cases if Solr does not return snippets. This seems to work fine, but the drawback is, that I need Solr to return the full data field in a query. This can be expensive on larger documents. But I hope this is just a temporal workaround until Solr 1.4... Thanks, Gert
