Otis, Take a look at KStem: http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/cgi-bin/downloads/downloads.cgi It's less aggressive than Porter. I modified the Lucene version to work with Solr, but don't know if it was adopted into the Solr source. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you a jar file.

I'm assuming Porter stemmer would stem Gamers and Gamera to the same stem (Game?). If the stems are different, which stemmer are you using? A smarter custom morphological stemmer?

And there seem to be some improvements. For example, "Gamers" and "Gamera" no longer stem to the same word :-) Tom On 10/2/07, Walter Underwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Here at Netflix, we switched over our site search to Solr two weeks ago. > We've seen zero problems with the server.
