Swish-e

Documentation not too helpful :(

Let's steer the question this direction...

In my SWISH-E configuration file, I have

StoreDescription HTML* <body> 20000

Using spider.pl, with -v 3, I can see that it's using the HTML2 parser. So shouldn't it then pass that onto my StoreDescription line? When I run a swish.cgi through my browser, I don't get any text to highlight (summary, whatever you wanna call it) for anything other than HTML files. I haven't tried TXT or PPT, but PDF and DOC don't have anything. They don't have null though.

Anyway, what do I have to change, and where do I change it, to get the snapshot (summary, highlightable area, etc) to display on the search page?

I feel like that didn't make any sense... Thanks in advance!
