You don't have to, but it helps improving recall. > Can I use Ispell dictionaries with Lucene? It depends on the dictionary. Some dictionary authors use the ispell flagging system just to save space, others use it in a way so that it really expresses the linguistic relation between a base form (e.g. "house") and its text forms (e.g. "houses"). Only in the later case, you could expand the dictionary to a "text form -> base form" mapping and use it. Some dictionaries are GPL, so they cannot be part of Lucene. But you can use them anyway. So the reason that there are no more advanced (dictionary-based) analyzers for Lucene are mostly because nobody has developed and published them. Of course, an increased recall often comes with a decrease in precision.
