sorry if this is a stupid question... new to OctoberCMS. I have the plugin working, as far as you type in a text and it shows the results on a search page... My site is primarily static pages, and the search results show the static page with the badge, but no snippet of text revealing the context of the search... is that a simple thing to add, or is that only available for blog posts?

This should already be displayed. Did you overwrite any of the default partials?

The contents should be displayed via this partial, maybe start debugging there: https://github.com/OFFLINE-GmbH/oc-site-search-plugin/blob/develop/components/searchresults/content.htm

Feel free to ask for further support over on our github.com repo:
