If you use the swish.cgi script that comes with the distribution this is
already done -- with terms highlighted.  It should work with very little
need for configuration.  It would be faster than trying to figure out how
to patch this old script.  See below.

I'm not going to edit that script for you.  But here's basically what you
need to do.  Here's a complete script.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my @fields = qw/
    swishrank
    swishdocpath
    swishtitle
    swishdocsize
    swishdescription
/;

my $swish = './swish-e';
my $format_string = join '\t', map { "<$_>" } @fields;
my $query = 'not dkdkdkd';

# Warning -- unsafe method to call swish
open(SWISH, "$swish -w $query -m 5 -x '$format_string\\n'|")
   or die $!;

while ( <SWISH> ) {
    next unless /^\d/;
    chomp;
    my %properties;
    @properties{ @fields } = split /\t/;

    print "$properties{swishdocpath}:", 
          substr( $properties{swishdescription}, 0, 50 ),
          "\n";
}

But I think it's easier to use the script in the distribution.

Let's see how hard it is...  

~ $mkdir temp
~ $cd temp
~/temp $wget http://swish-e.org/Download/swish-e-2.2.2.tar.gz
--10:48:07--  http://swish-e.org:80/Download/swish-e-2.2.2.tar.gz
..

~/temp $tar zxof swish-e-2.2.2.tar.gz

[no need to build since you have a current 2.2.x version of swish-e installed]

~ $cd cgi-bin

~/cgi-bin $cp ~/temp/swish-e-2.2.2/example/swish.cgi .
~/cgi-bin $cp -rp ~/temp/swish-e-2.2.2/example/modules .

~/cgi-bin $pico .swishcgi.conf

~/cgi-bin $cat .swishcgi.conf 
return {
     swish_binary   => '/usr/local/bin/swish-e',
     title          => 'Search Apache Docs',
};

~/cgi-bin $cat c

That's it.
