Hi,

I was wondering if there's a reason why the stemmers, e.g. GermanStemmer are not accessible from outside the lucene package.

When I want to highlight the search terms, I need to know which terms have been found. Example: when searching for "Vitamine" the GermanStemmer produces "Vitami". "Vitami" is a word not directly used, but often it's "Vitamin", the noun. When I now try to highlight the matched words solely based on the user input, I certainly won't be able to highlight "Vitamin" or a part of the word, since I'm not aware of the stemmed word.

My frontend application is not Java, I'm only accessing Lucene through my package with XML-RPC. What I did now is I copied the GermanStemmer from lucene into my package and called it from there.

But I'm not sure if that's a clever idea and maybe I just overlooked a public interface to the stemmer output? Or I'm approaching the whole highlight search term from the wrong direction?

thanks for any pointers,
- Markus
