Hi,
Scott Smith a écrit :
Is anyone aware of an open source (non-GPL; i.e.., free for commercial use) Arabic analyzer for Lucene?
Unfortunately (for you), my Arabic Analyzer for Java (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/aramorph) is GPL-ed.
Does Arabic really require a stemmer as well (some of the reading I've seen on the web would suggest that a stemmer is almost a necessity with Arabic to get anything useful where it is not with other languages).
IMHO, stemming *is* a necessity in arabic since this language involves prefixing, suffixing and infixing as well as written a few yet very frequent word agregations.
Good luck,
