Sphinx Search how to use an empty before_match and after_match

Using Sphinx's SNIPPET() function, how can I remove any before_match and after_match from my query? I don't want anything wrapped around the matching text.

SNIPPET(field, 'word', 'after_match=""', 'before_match=""')

I've tried after_match= and this fails too

Any suggestions?

    Or just use strip_tags style function to remove the automatic
