: Thanks for quick response. Is there any code example i can take look? I'm : not familiar with the technique you mentioned. My question is how the : analyzer knows "buss" is not a plural and bears is a plural.
Stemming is a vast topic of text analysis .. some stemmers work using dictionaries, some based on algorithmic appraoches ... almost any Stemmer you can imagine can be implimented as a ToeknFilter in Lucene -- and a few already are out of the box. You might wnat to read up a little bit on the different Stemming approaches out there (google: "stemming") and then take a look at some of the Lucene analysis classes that provide implementations. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
