[Xapian-discuss] correct use of stem

Hello All

Currently I pre-parse every incoming query in my own code before I send 
it on to Xapian.
Among other things, I determine what parts of a query are actual search 
words, and I then manually stem each one of them with Xapians 
Stem::stem_word().

I was wondering if this is the correct approach, or is there a better 
way of doing this, ie have Xapian automatically do it on the words in 
the query itself, when the query string is passed on to 
QueryParser::parse_query() ?

Cheers
Alec
