NAME
Plucene::Analysis::PorterStemFilter - Porter stemming on the token stream
SYNOPSIS
# isa Plucene::Analysis:::TokenFilter
my $token = $porter_stem_filter->next;
DESCRIPTION
This class transforms the token stream as per the Porter stemming algorithm.
Note: the input to the stemming filter must already be in lower case, so you will need to
use LowerCaseFilter or LowerCaseTokenizer farther down the Tokenizer chain in order for
this to work properly!
The Porter Stemmer implements Porter Algorithm for normalization of English words by
stripping their extensions and is used to generalize the searches. For example, the
Porter algorithm maps both 'search' and 'searching' (as well as 'searchnessing') to
'search' such that a query for 'search' will also match documents that contains the word
'searching'.
Note that the Porter algorithm is specific to the English language and may give
unpredictable results for other languages. Also, make sure to use the same analyzer during
the indexing and the searching.
You can find more information on the Porter algorithm at
www.tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer.
A nice online demonstration of the Porter algorithm is available at
www.scs.carleton.ca/~dquesnel/java/stuff/PorterApplet.html.
METHODS
next
my $token = $porter_stem_filter->next;
Returns the next input token, after being stemmed.
