Usually hit highlighting problems mean that FileConverter was set up
with incomplete data about the input document, although other
possible causes are (1) changes to the file since it was indexed, (2)
changes to the dtSearch Engine version, or (3) providing inconsistent
input, especially when indexing using the data source API (the input
to FileConverter has to exactly match what you returned in your
DataSource implementation).
Building the index with caching of original files enabled, and using
the dtsConvertGetFromCache flag in FileConverter, can greatly
simplify inconsistency problems because FileConverter can get your
original data from the cache.
