The documents already in the index will be the way they were, and new ones will be the new way - eg your index will be inconsistent. You might have half your index stemmed and the other half not. It will still work, but you won't match the documents you want, depending - a query of ski will not match skiing in the unstemmed half of you documents, but will match the stemmed docs. You have to reindex to get things consistent again. > > > > -- > manuel aldana > ald...@gmx.de > software-engineering blog: http://www.aldana-online.de > > -- -- - Mark http://www.lucidimagination.com
