Whew. After struggling yesterday morning to get the search result parsing working within the archives keyword search, I finally gave up due to severe frustration. It was returning blank results for no reason (that I could figure out at the time), and doing a bunch of weird crap with outputting the summary. I deleted the functions related to the summary display, and reverted the search back to its original iteration.
Then I took another stab at it tonight. Thanks to my O'Reilly PHP book, getzburg, and PHP.net, the search function can now display summaries. This was a pain in the ass to do, as I had to rewrite the entire display search routine, but it's such a helpful addition to searching - almost a necessity.
This switch to the database backend looks more and more promising.
