  *:In column 0 (name), term 1 ("pie") matched at byte offset 8; the match is 3 bytes long (the length of "pie").

+ 
+ *Generating snippets*
+ 
+ fts1 can generate *snippets* of text surrounding each match returned in a full-text query.  To produce a snippet, call the *snippet* function and pass it the name of your full-text table:
+ 
+   sqlite> create virtual table poem using fts1(name, text);
+   sqlite> insert into poem values ('ozymandias', 'i met a traveller from an antique land who said: two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert');
+   sqlite> select name, snippet(poem) from poem where text match 'land';
+   ozymandias|i met a traveller from an antique <b>land</b> who said: two vast and trunkless legs of <b>...</b>
+   sqlite>
+ 
+ By default, each matching term in a snippet is surrounded with the delimiters "<b>" and "</b>", and an ellipsis "..." indicates text not included in a snippet.  (Note that the ellipsis is itself surrounded by delimiters "<b>" and "</b>".)
+ 
+ You can specify your own term delimiters and ellipsis text by specifying extra arguments to the *snippet* function.  Its arguments are as follows:
+ 
+ 1:The name of the virtual table being queried.
+ 2:Markup to put before each matching word. Default: <b>
+ 3:Markup to put after each matching word. Default: </b>
+ 4:Ellipsis markup. Default: <b>...</b>
+ 
+ For example:
+ 
+   sqlite> select name, snippet(poem, '[', ']', '%%') from poem where text match 'land';
+   ozymandias|i met a traveller from an antique [land] who said: two vast and trunkless legs of %%
+   sqlite>
