[Xapian-discuss] Stemmer in Xapian, some questions from student.
Hello, I am student from University of Science and Technology in Cracow. I would like to ask you some questions about Xapian, because it is one of few search engines I am testing. 1. What type of stemmer is used in Xapian? Are You able to write some important features applied to Xapian? 2. We must use stemming for polish language. I read on Your webpage what languages include Xapian. There is no polish. I would like You to tell how can I include polish language to Xapian's stemmer or create a new language. Is there any algorithm? Can I connect to other applications (e.g. Stempel) to include this language? 3. Is there any possibility to cooperation between Xapian's stemmer and Snowball? 3. Is there any possibility to integrate Xapian with other tool? (Name of a tool?) 4. Is there any possibility to add new synonyms to the library? 5. Is there any possibility to change Xapian's stemmer? 6. Are You able to describe how work Xapian's stemmer? Yours faithfully, Andrew

I think this page will answer at least some of your questions: * http://xapian.org/docs/stemming.html (Your question no. 3 is answered in the first sentence, at least).
