Search snippet does not appear in Search API search page I am using  


Drupal 7.28
Apache Solr 4.4.0 
Search API Solr 7.x-1.5
Search API attachment 7.x-1.3 and
Search API Page 7.x-1.1. 


I have created 2 content types with
 - Title
 - ID
 - Document date (not the default node creation date)
 - Attachment

My index and preprocessing settings are the following: 
Index Fields: 
Processor settings:


In the search page I am searching all the fields and have set 
View mode: Themed as search results

The searches work correctly only that when I search for a keyword appearing in the attachment text, the results return without the search snippet, whereas when I search in the title, the returned result is correctly highlighted

The funny thing is that when I submit the query directly to solr with e.g. q=tm_title:Spain?hl=on the &lt;lst name="highlighting"&gt; is empty.

Any ideas?
It appears that Create Excerpt was the option that was not allowing the search snippet to appear. After I disabled it, everything worked as expected. Should have done my homework better :-/
