The relationship between "behavior" and "behavioral" is derivational. MarkLogic provides an inflectional stemmer, so it never collapses these two, even with advanced stemming. Roughly speaking, an inflectional stemmer collapses words in the same class (verb forms, say), while a derivational stemmer crosses class boundaries (from verb form to noun form, say). If you want to do a search that will find both these, the thing to do is set up a thesaurus and use it in building your query. See the API docs for the thesaurus functions. //Mary On Wed, 19 Aug 2009 18:44:57 -0700, Tim Meagher <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > > I'm using the example in the documentation to determine if the two words > "behavior" and "behavioral" have the same stem: ...snip... > It is returning false even with advanced stemming enabled.
