Jonathan,

what should I say, I'm feeling like an idiot now. Of course you're right. This actually solves the issue ;)

thanks and sorry for wasting time,
- Markus

As I'm sure you know, "sucht" is also an inflection of "suchen", e.g. "er sucht etwas". Sadly, you may be able to fix this one problem, but there will be hundreds of other problems too. Stemmers are never perfect. You just have to live with it.

Most users won't have a problem with that. If they want want to search for addiction, then they will probably add "drug" or "alcohol", etc... to the search.

Stemming german words

        


Hi,

I'm currently using the GermanStemmer and it works well. However today
I've found two words which get stemmed to the same stemm-word.

"Suche" and "Sucht" both get stemmed to the same "such" it seems,
however they've completely different meanings in german (Suche = the
Search, Sucht => addicttion).

Is there a way to tune the stemmer or are there alternatives available
or should I look for another stemmer for the german language?

thanks for any pointers,
- Markus
