Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-1390:
-------------------------------------
Andi,
What do you think of the idea of remaking this into a filter that folds all
Unicode characters to their ASCII equivalents? This would be (I think) a
superset of what you've done, but would also include things like fullwidth
Latin characters, smaller variants of some ASCII symbols, fancy quotation
marks, etc. Maybe non-Arabic decimal numeric characters could be converted to
their Arabic versions.
> add ISOLatinAccentFilter and deprecate ISOLatin1AccentFilter

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1390
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Analysis
> Environment: any
> Reporter: Andi Vajda
> Attachments: ISOLatinAccentFilter.java
>
>
> The ISOLatin1AccentFilter is removing accents from accented characters in the
> ISO Latin 1 character set.
> It does what it does and there is no bug with it.
> It would be nicer, though, if there was a more comprehensive version of this
> code that included not just ISO-Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) but the entire Latin 1
> and Latin Extended A unicode blocks.
> See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin-1_Supplement_unicode_block
> See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Extended-A_unicode_block
> That way, all languages using roman characters are covered.
> A new class, ISOLatinAccentFilter is attached. It is intended to supercede
> ISOLatin1AccentFilter which should get deprecated.
