Not seeing keyword in search results

Hi!

The brief explanation — when doing a live search, certain pages produce search results that are always just the first few words of the page, and not the actual context of the search query.

The issue occurs with a different/generic theme.

The issue occurs with all other plugins disabled.

I don’t believe any messages in the logs are related.

Some additional detail —

First, thanks for any assistance you can provide!

We’re putting some documentation on our website that is a series of lengthy pages.

What we want to do, is allow a user to perform a search, and have the context of their search results show up below the search box. They’d then be able to click it if that part of the documentation was what they wanted. And after clicking, we’d like it to jump down to that section of the documentation.

What we’re seeing is that while there are some pages that do show the context of the search, some do not… those that do not just show a few sentences from the beginning of the document, not the content they searched for (though that content does exist further down in the document).

I’ve attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean.

We have 4 versions of a similar document, all containing very similar text. I searched for the word “asbestos”, which exists in all the documents. The first result does not show that word though, only the beginning of the document. The other documents do show the word asbestos and the surrounding context.

Any thoughts on what might be different about that first document, that’s preventing it from showing any context?

Thanks for any thoughts!
