according to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting , $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting should highlight the search result in some way. I tested it in MW 1.17 and there is no difference at all, I guess this feature is either broken or not documented good enough.
The SphinxMWSearch extension appears to replace the default MediaWiki search results highlighter code unless you have set $wgSphinxSearchMWHighlighter to true: # Set to true to use MW's default search snippets and highlighting $wgSphinxSearchMWHighlighter = false; So it's not surprising if changes to its configuration don't take effect, as you're probably not using it. :)

I can't see what this has to do with SphinxMWSearch, at least I don't use it and it isn't mentioned on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting So you need the extension for $wgAdvancedSearchHighlighting to take any effect or what?
