Thanks DM, for the reminder. Even for English, when we include those modern versions that make use of contractions such as
"I'm" "You've" "He's" "They're" "We'd" "She'll" "Can't" It's easy for humans to spot the fact that "m" "ve" "s" "re" "d" "ll" & "t" are not whole words in and of themselves. Yet that's what would result from stripping the apostrophes. Anyone using a front-end in which one of the search options is "whole words", might end up with misleading results. The Lucene search index would presumably include such suffices as distinct words. A proper indexing method would classify each whole contraction as a "word".
