Hi [~iprovalo] I'm curious if you have been maintaining this patch through
version `8` for your company? If so, do you want to revive this discussion?

> One of the challenges in search is recall of an item with a common typing
> variant. These cases can be as simple as lower/upper case in most languages,
> accented characters, or more complex morphological phenomena like prefix
> omitting, or constructing a character with some combining mark. This
> component addresses the cases, which are not covered by ASCII folding
> component, or more complex to design with other tools. The idea is that a
> linguist could provide the mappings in a tab-delimited file, which then can
> be directly used by Solr.
> The mappings are maintained in the tab-delimited file, which could be just a
> copy paste from Excel spreadsheet. This gives the linguists the opportunity
> to create the mappings, then for the developer to include them in Solr
> configuration. There are a few cases, when the mappings grow complex, where
> some additional debugging may be required. The mappings can contain any
> sequence of characters to any other sequence of characters.
> Some of the cases I discuss in detail document are handling the voiced vowels
> for Japanese; common typing substitutions for Korean, Russian, Polish;
> transliteration for Polish, Arabic; prefix removal for Arabic; suffix folding
> for Japanese. In the appendix, I give an example of implementing a Russian
> light weight stemmer using this component.
