My interpretation of http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Analysis/StandardAnalyzer.html is that StandardAnalyzer uses FULL_ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS as the stopword list. Perhaps I'm wrong; I've never verified it empirically. I'm of the opinion that the whole concept of stopwords is a relic of 1970's technology and the TREC ad-hoc query paradigm, neither of which are particularly relevant for modern-day web search, so I typically turn them off. -- William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
