[opencms-dev] Lucene 1.4, Spanish Analyzer

[Hartmann, Waehrisch & Feykes GmbH]

Hi Ernesto,

seems that your analyzer reduces the words to their stem, i.e. it removes
the inflections and declinations. This is just what a stemmer should do.
Can you verify this for verbs ending -ir and -er or their inflections, too?
To get the right results when you are searching for your words you should
use your analyzer also to parse the search query
(SearchHelper.doSimpleSearch only uses a StopAnalyzer).

Regards,
Stephan
