However, there is a PorterStemFilter built into Lucene. Please compare with that.

Erik,

Yes, I understand that. In looking at the code it is quite obviously
of the same origin (i.e. from Martin Porter) but may be an older
version (I couldn't quite tell). It doesn't come close to any normal
Java programming guidelines, and while I didn't try to modify the
latest version so that it would, entirely, because part of the
reason I think whoever wrote the original code formatted it the way
they did was to enable an easier reading of the comparison strings.
I've tried to come to some compromise, as well as (as I mentioned)
predeclaring the Strings so that the VM isn't constantly recreating
them.

In short, I *think* I'm using a newer version of the code than the
one in the repository, plus I've cleaned it up.

   [International terrorism] is a fantasy that has been exaggerated
   and distorted by politicians. It is a dark illusion that has
   spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the
   security services, and the international media. In an age when
   all the grand ideas have lost credibility, fear of a phantom
   enemy is all the politicians have left to maintain their power."
