#search_snippet(document, query, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Extracts the portion of the document that matches query text. Consider refactoring into a complex activerecord query leveraging “ts_headling”. For present though we will perform this with a regex (on the document, which is constructed at the query level - see app/models/concerns/questions/search.rb)
