One of the biggest things missing from most current OPACs in my opinion is google-style excerpting of WHAT part of the record matched the query--on the results page. Many mainstream OPACs do currently provide some form of hilighting on the detail/full-bib page, but it's not generally truly identifying _which_ parts of the record _actually_ matched your search (a search just on title will still hilight the word found in a non-title field), which I find annoying. Do these kind of hybrid approaches complicate the task of providing proper result hilighting in context, or am I off on the wrong direction?
