Ferret talk - Aug 2006 - Portuguese Stemming

Today while compiling ferret I noticed there was a Portuguese stemmer
being compiled. How do I enable it''s use for my index?

Hi Pedro,

You need to build a custom analyzer. Maybe something like this;

    class PortugueseAnalyzer
        def token_stream(field, string)
            StemFilter.new(StopFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(string),
                                          FULL_PORTUGUESE_STOP_WORDS),
                           "pt", "UTF_8")
        end
    end

    index = Index.new(:analyzer => PortugueseAnalyzer.new)

I hope the formatting works in your email reader.

Cheers,
Dave
