Ernesto,
http://snowball.tartarus.org/texts/introduction.html might help w/ your understanding. The link provides basic info on why stemmer's are valuable (not necessarily any insight on how the Spanish version works). Of course, they don't solve every problem and in some cases may make things worse. A stemmer is not required to return a whole word. Hope this helps. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/23/2004 9:29:30 AM >>> Hello I use the Snowball jar for implement my SpanishAnalyzer. I found that the words finished in 'bol' are not stripped. For example: In spanish for say basketball, you can say basquet or basquetbol. But for SpanishStemmer are different words. Idem with voley and voleybol. Not idem with futbol (football), we not say fut for futbol. But 'fut' donīt exist in spanish. you think that I are correct? you can change this? Ernesto. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
