This was intentional actually. The default was a tradeoff of "benefits" (which affect less than 5% of english vocabulary, if you read around the snowball site), versus a much more significant performance difference as a "default". For example when i did tests of indexing both short and long texts http://find.searchhub.org/document/c1d3301b71dab5ca#46a8351089a98aec Thats overall indexing speed, not just text analysis. It might be that this guy is faster these days (we've done some improvements) too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
