These text types 'stem' the words arabic, arabian, and arabs to 'arab'. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SchemaDesign
The Porter classes in the text definitions do this process. You want a field type without stemming. In Solr 1.3, the field type 'textSpell' and in Solr 1.4 'textgen' do not have these. The Analysis page lets you see how a text field definition changes query text and indexed text. http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/analysis.jsp On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 6:59 PM, Avlesh Singh <avl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > "The Arab Presense" is returned when I search for ("arabic"). > > "to confirm the existence of many communities.." is returned when i > search > > for ("the existing"). > > > > All such results are returned back due to something known as stemming.
