Hi Eric, You do not have to store the entire text content of the EAD guide in order to enable facets. Here's an example: http://kittredgecollection.org/results?q=*:* . There are about 15 facets enabled on a collection of almost 1500 EAD documents (though quite small in filesize compared to traditional EAD finding aids), and there's no slowdown whatsoever. I don't believe you need to store the guides to enable highlighting either, though I have heard there is some dropoff in performance with highlighting enabled. I've never done benchmarking on highlighting enabled versus disabled, so I can't tell you how much of a dropoff there is. In an index of only several hundred documents, I would think that the dropoff with highlighting enabled would be fairly negligible.
