I was wondering if I could put hints in my HTML that would provide
hints to the abstractor as to where to being abstracting.

Essentially I am indexing a bunch of articles that have headers in
them. That is what comes up in the abstractor output.

I have tried putting the '$qry' variable in the abstractor function
call but that does not improve performance that much. If I could just
have the abstractor begin abstracting after the headers of my article
then I'd be delighted.

Any tips here?

The abstract function attempts to skip that kind of thing, but sometimes
can't. Your attempt to use the query hilighting is a good idea. Just
make sure you do it right. The variable to use is $query, not $qry
and make sure you include the abstract style argument.

<abstract $Body 180 smart $query>

If that's not satisfactory, you could write a <rex> expression to match
the first text after your headers instead of using <abstract>.
