For some reason it seems that either Lucene or Snowball has a problem with
the color purple. According the snowball experts the problem is with lucene.
Can anyone shed any light? Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I'm using Compass/Lucene + snowball/English to search the following text
which appears in several documents
"The road was a ribbon of moonlight looping the purple moor,"
Searching for the word "ribbon" returns the document, but not the word
"purple"
[945354] compass.DefaultSearchableMethodFactory search defaults: {max=10,
offset=0, reload=false, escape=false}
[945397] search.DefaultSearchMethod query: [+(+(name:ribbon^8.0
firstMessageText:ribbon^0.0 text:ribbon)) +(alias:ALIASConversationALIAS)],
[4] hits, took [2] millis
[956176] compass.DefaultSearchableMethodFactory search defaults: {max=10,
offset=0, reload=false, escape=false}
[956184] search.DefaultSearchMethod query: [+(+(name:purple^8.0
firstMessageText:purple^0.0 text:purple)) +(alias:ALIASConversationALIAS)],
[0] hits, took [1] millis
If the only change I make is to switch to Lucene's StandardAnalyzer results
for both "ribbon" and "purple" are returned
Is this a bug or is there some strange intended behavior I'm not aware of?
Thanks
Steve
