Extract a snippet from a document, capturing text either side of
any term(s) featured in a whitespace-delimited search query.
We look for up to 3 matches in a document and concatenate them.
@param {object} doc The document to extract the snippet from
@param {object} query The query to be searched for
@returns {string} A snippet from the document
