Searching different types of words

2003-11-25 Thread Pleasant, Tracy 
If I search for like I would want the search to return documents
containing like, liked, likes, etc.. variations of the word.

Is there a way to tell Lucene to do this?

Yes.
For this particular example, PorterStemFilter will do the job.
For more complex things (e.g. a search for car returning car, auto,
automobile, vehicle) you'll need to add thesaurus-like capability to
your indexer.  This can be done by writing a custom Analyzer.

It sounds like you have a lot of questions, but have not read much
Lucene documentation. :)

Hi

I'd recommend Kstem over Porter, it performs much better on English let
alone when you get to other languages. You can get the source code for
Kstem.jar at teh following website:
