Hi Wagner,
Thanks for the intro of KStem! I quickly scanned the original paper on
KStem by Robert Krovetz but could not find any timing comparison data on
KStem and Porter stem. I wonder how slow/fast Kstem is compared to
Porter stem based on your use in your application?

Mathieu,
It's not my Kstem. It was written by someone at Umass, Amherst. More info here:

Someone else had already ported it to Lucene. I simply modified that wrapper to
work with Solr. I'll open an issue for it so that it can (hopefully) be
integrated into the project.
Cheers... harry

Porter stemmer is not only agressive, it is ugly, too. The generated
code is too old, too few object centric and should be too slow.
If your kstem compile with java 1.4, why don't you suggest it to lucene
core?

Hi HH,
Here's a note I sent Solr-dev a while back:
---
I've implemented a Solr plug-in that wraps KStem for Solr use (someone
else had already written a Lucene wrapper for it). KStem is considered
to be more appropriate for library usage since it is much less
aggressive than Porter (i.e., searches for organization do NOT match on
organ!). If there is any interest in feeding this back into Solr I would
be happy to contribute it.
---
I believe there was interest in it, but I never opened an issue for it
and I don't know if it was ever followed-up on. I'd be happy to do that
now. Can someone on the Solr-dev team point me in the right direction
for opening an issue?
Thanks... harry

I recall I've read some where in one of the mailing-list archives that
some
one had developed a better stemming algo for Solr than the built-in
Porter
stemming. Does anyone have link to that stemming module?
Thanks,
HH
