Hello,
 
I tried using Porter stemming in our application and it worked great except it 
broke the proximity searches.  Is there any way at all that these two pieces of 
functionality could coexist peacefully?
 
I do not see any reason why they should not.  It seems to me that proximity 
query terms should be stemmed by the engine, then the query executed.  
Personally, I would not care much if the following two proximity queries would 
bring back the same results:
 
"character encoding"~3
and
"characters encode"~3
 
I'd much rather they both returned the same results than no results at all, the 
latter being the case I've observed.
 
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
- Dmitry
