Paul Curren commented on LUCENE-915:
------------------------------------
I understand, and thanks for you help.
Incidentally, i'm comparing against a commercial search engine which doesn't
exhibit this stemming behaviour.
They must be using a different or modified algorithm - I don't know which i'm
afraid.
This is the reason why I raise this as a bug - at the application level (forget
about low level components and stemmers for now) there is an unexpected
behaviour and it relates to an implementation detail within Lucene (the choice
of algorithm).
That's all, thanks again.
