Managed to lose Highlighting

Hi,

I've managed to lose highlighting in my description/teaser.

I have it turned on in my solrconfig.xml line 183. It is set to true.

It was working when i was using Jetty and Solr 1.4.0, then I switched to Tomcat and created a new Solr 1.4.1 instance. I modified my teaser length as noted above. I basically just crawled and kept the entire page using nutch, passed it to Solr and displayed my teaser with <?php print substr($snippet, 0, +400); ?> ...<br/>

To get it back, I have uninstalled ApacheSolr module and re-installed it as well as uninstalled my search (core) by overwriting those files. I cleared my cache, ran updates and cron. I have restarted apache, tomcat, my server and my cellphone (just seeing if you are still reading! :-)

I'm wondering if the adjustment somehow has broken highlighting in some way but I can't wrap my arms around why or where. I figured this was the best place to post with the best odds of a resolution.

If you need more info or can point me to a clue, that would be awesome.
