Rails 3 Searching HTML Content with Sunspot

I'm storing some HTML content in my database and I would like to be able to perform a search using Sunspot while omitting HTML from the hit output and if possible the search itself.

My model:

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base

  attr_accessible :caption
  searchable do
    text :content, :stored => true
  end

end

Search action:

def find    
  @search = Article.search do
    fulltext params[:search] do
      highlight :name
    end
  end      
end

Template:

- @search.each_hit_with_result do |hit, article|
  - unless hit.highlight(:content).nil?
      %p= hit.highlight(:content).format { |word| "<span class=\"highlight\">#{strip_tags(word)}</span>"}.html_safe

Some sample content that is being search might be something like:

<h1>Hello world</h1>
<p> Search for me me!</p>
<a href="#">Link</a>

Notice that I'm marking the output as html_safe? This is because I would like the wrap the search text that gets hit with a highlight span, however besides that everything else I want to be stripped completely from the returned text that gets hit. Is this even possible?

What ended up working for me was stripping the content that gets indexed by solr. To do so I had to make the following change inside of my model:

  include ActionView::Helpers::SanitizeHelper

  searchable do
    text :content, :stored => true do
      strip_tags(content)
    end
  end

Adding those changes and running rake sunspot:solr:reindex worked like a charm!
