Snippets are the little bits of text you see in searches.  So a document
that said, "There shall be peace in our time", when matched in a search
for "peace" might be "... shall be piece in our...".

If you delete the text cache, you won't get these snippets for non-text
files.

Yep, someone sent me a doc that causes the wv library we use to use 1.3
gigs of memory (and counting) in about 3 seconds.  So I am working on
fixing this; it's bad.
