For our finding aids, we are using fedoragenericsearch 2.2 with solr as index.  Because the EADs can be huge, the EADs are indexed but not stored (with stored EADs, search time for ~500 objects = 20 min rather than < 1 sec).

 

However, we would like to have number of search terms found within each hit.  For example, CDL's collection:

http://www.oac.cdlib.org/search?query=Donner

 

Also we would like highlighting/snippets of the search term similar to CDL's.

 

Is it a lost cause to have this functionality without storing the EAD?  Is there a way to store the EAD and have a reasonable response time?
