Being a French speaker, I will mention the following special cases: - "plus ça change" -> "plus ca change" - "œuf" -> "oeuf" - "lætitia" -> "laetitia"
But I just looked, and it looks like ISOLatin1AccentFilter handles these. Better test to be sure... --Renaud -----Original Message----- From: Chris Lu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 1:36 PM To: java-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: a question for french analyzer Hi, Erick, I added ISOLatin1AccentFilter to FrenchAnalyzer following Samir's tip, and it works great! And I think it's the right way to go. Problems like "You have to store the data raw for display purposes if you want the accents to show though" will go away since Analyzer already have the original text and analyzed token mechanism built-in. And it's pretty easy to do! However, is there any special case that you have? Not really knowing French, I only tested one word, "fenêtre", and it's analyzed into "fenetre". -- Chris Lu ------------------------- Instant Scalable Full-Text Search On Any Database/Application site: http://www.dbsight.net demo: http://search.dbsight.com Lucene Database Search in 3 minutes: http://wiki.dbsight.com/index.php?title=Create_Lucene_Database_Search_in_3_m inutes On 7/30/07, Erick Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gosh, I sure hope not, because that would mean that we rolled our > own for no good reason.
