Sachin,
Thanks for quick response. Is there any code example i can take look? I'm
not familiar with the technique you mentioned. My question is how the
analyzer knows "buss" is not a plural and bears is a plural.
Lucene supports wildcard. However, we can not use wildcard at the beginning
of search term such as *bear. is there a way to match *bear* (bear, bears,
forbearance etc.) by search tern "bear"?
thanks

Hi Tony,
Lucene certainly does support it. It just requires you to use a
tokeniser that performs stemming such as any analyzer that uses
PorterStemFilter.

All,
I'm evaluating Lucene as a full-text search engine for a project. I got
one of the requirements as following:
4) Plural Literal Search
If you use the plural of a term such as bears the results will include
matches to the plural term bears as well as the singular term bear.
it seems to me we need to build a dictionary to support it. Does Lucene
support it?
appreciate your help.
Tony
