I use PorterStemAnalyzer provided by Otis (see http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/01/15/lucene.html?page=2,), in http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-lucene-sandbox/contributions/snowball/there are another implementations of porter algoritm. >From the first glance it looks some how very different.
What the difference/advantage/disadvantage in using Otis code or one from lucene-sandbox Snowball Thanks in advance J.
