Full-Text Search Result Highlighting

I have been using MSFTE for SQL 2005 (soon switching to 2008) for the past year or so and have managed to integrate it into a online application used to search text documents with little hassle.  The only shortcoming left on my plate to handle deals with Search Result Summaries for results returned by SQL Server/MSFTE.  Today, SQL/MSFTE will only return the entire indexed field that matches the search query passed to SQL/MSFTE.  Obviously, developers need access to the entire document but it would be nice of there was a way to retrieve a simple summary of the text found in the field based on your search criteria; similar to Live Search Results.  

I considered writing a .Net Assembly that I would invoke per SQL/MSFTE result that would return a summary based on the query passed into the search.  However, before I start going to down this road I'm wondering if anyone else already solved and/or developed a process to return results from a SQL/MSFTE search result in this fashion.
