Is there any documentation on large document indexing. Say word files of 4-5k words. Can i put the entire content of the word file into a field to be indexed? I would love to grab snippets of it via the instantsearch Snippet feature. What's the performance implication?

Recommended approach is to split into smaller documents and during query, do a group by on a parent ID that's common to all splits.
