Hello,
Here, a little list of few problems with the french stemmer that we found:
For nouns with "...e", the e is removed by example: poule (chicken) =>
poul (must be poule)
it's good for an adjectiv, but not for a noun.
And it's the same thing with the nouns with "...lle" or "...tte", by
example, brouette (wheelbarrow) => brouet (must be brouette)
I understand, it's a problem, because the same rule cannot be applied for
nouns and adjectives. With the current solution (xapian 1.2.3), we get too
many solutions with a search, ie "false positive", so it's better than
"false negative".
Have you got a file to test the stemmer? We can help you to fill this
file.
Best regards,
D. Versmisse.
