Difficulties with Highlighting

I'm a relative beginner at SOLR, indexing and searching Unicode Tibetan 
texts. I am trying to use the highlighter but it just returns, empty 
elements, such as:

    <lst name="highlighting">
        <lst name="kt-d-0103-text-v4p262a"/>
    </lst>

What am I doing wrong?

The query that generated that is:

http://www.thlib.org:8080/thdl-solr/thdl-texts/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=%E0%BD%91%E0%BD%84%E0%BD%B4%E0%BD%A3%E0%BC%8B%E0%BD%98%E0%BD%81%E0%BD%93%E0%BC%8B+AND+type%3Atext&start=0&rows=10&fl=*%2Cscore&qt=standard&wt=standard&hl=true&hl.fl=pg_bo&hl.snippets=50

The hit is in the multivalued field named "pg_bo" and in a doc with that 
id #. I've looked at the various highlighting parameters (not that I 
fully understand them) and tried fiddling with those but nothing helped. 
I did notice that if you change the hl.fl=*. Then you get the type field 
highlighted:

<lst name="highlighting">
    <lst name="kt-d-0103-text-v4p262a">
       <arr name="type">
            <str><em>text</em></str>
        </arr>
    </lst>
</lst>

But that's not much help. We are using a custom Tibetan tokenizer for 
the Unicode Tibetan text fields. Would this have something to do with it?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks for your help,

Than Grove

Erik,

You're right on both accounts. I'll upgrade and then check into whether 
our tokenizer is working properly.

Thanks,

Than -

Looks like maybe your text_bo field type isn't analyzing how you'd  
like?   Though that's just a hunch.  I pasted the value of that field  
returned in the link you provided into your analysis.jsp page and it  
chunked tokens by whitespace.  Though I could be experiencing a copy/ 
paste/i18n issue.

Also looks like you're on Solr 1.3 - so it's likely quite worth  
upgrading to 1.4.1 (don't know if that directly affects this  
highlighting issue, just a general recommendation).
