Jim Regan commented on LUCENE-3883:
-----------------------------------
Great :)
Regarding the initial 'h', I asked Kevin Scannell (among other feathers in his
cap, he created the dictionary used in GaelSpell, and ran an Irish-language
search engine), who said:
"I looked carefully at how often initial h is a prefix vs not a while ago. I
can send you those data - non-prefixes might be more common than you'd think in
running text bc of proper names, English mixed in, etc. So upshot is it's a
bad idea to strip all initial h's with no hyphen following.
As far as h- (with hyphen) goes, it's non-standard but common enough that I'd
leave it in the stemmer. Not like there would be false positives in that case
if the hyphen is there.'
