[opencms-dev] hit.getExceprt() returns "null"

[Christoph P. Kukulies]

I'm wondering why some searches return "null" from getExcerpt().

I have this code snippet:

<p>
   <a href="<cms:link><%=cms.getRequestContext().removeSiteRoot(hit.getPath()) %></cms:link>">
<%= cms.getRequestContext().removeSiteRoot(hit.getPath())%></a><br/>
   
   <%= hit.getExcerpt() %><br/>
</p>

On some PDF-files the excerpt text is empty (null is shown). How come?
