[Xapian-discuss] Stemmer in Xapian, some questions from student.

[andbuk at student.agh.edu.pl]

Hello,

I am student from University of Science and Technology in Cracow. I would
like to ask you some questions about Xapian, because it is one of few
search engines I am testing.

1. What type of stemmer is used in Xapian? Are You able to write some
important features applied to Xapian?
2. We must use stemming for polish language. I read on Your webpage what
languages include Xapian. There is no polish. I would like You to tell how
can I include polish language to Xapian's stemmer or create a new
language.
Is there any algorithm? Can I connect to other applications (e.g. Stempel)
to include this language?
3. Is there any possibility to cooperation between Xapian's stemmer and
Snowball?
3. Is there any possibility to integrate Xapian with other tool? (Name of
a tool?) 
4. Is there any possibility to add new synonyms to the library?
5. Is there any possibility to change Xapian's stemmer?
6. Are You able to describe how work Xapian's stemmer?

Yours faithfully,
Andrew
