About snippeting
The snippeting feature provides the ability to return an excerpt from a record — called a snippet — to an application user who performs a record search query.

Snippet formatting and size
A snippet consists of search terms, surrounding context words, and ellipses.

Enabling snippeting
You enable snippeting globally for the Oracle Endeca Server via the RECSEARCH_CONFIG configuration document.

Tuning tips for snippeting
Enabling snippeting affects query runtime performance.

Retrieving snippets per query with the API
You can enable snippets for a particular attribute on a per-query basis using the TextSearchFilter type in the Conversation Web Service.
