Thank you again Charlie for your wonderful help. I do have a plan B but I don't give up that easy being a big CFML fan and trying to get SOLR working on this is just a miles better solution any day. My hosting provider has been really supportive but I suspect are as equally dumbfounded as I am. Before I get into the real techy stuff their investigations may have provided a clue but I don't know how to interpret this. They queried SOLR directly and the results do not show a context - I'm hoping that means something. Here are some images to illustrate.
The first image shows a dump on my dev machine - it returns a relevant context - we know that increasing the context passages value increases the size of the context. All good.
The second image shows the (same) query run directly against SOLR on the prod box - I cant see a context and we know that CFSEARCH is returning a context that equals the summary both in length and content. Its not my bailiwick but I wonder if this is just a schema issue.
Thank you again for your help.
