Foreign language search

Post by jlin »

Hi,
I know Thunderstone provides a word stemming process for English language content - taking the search words and going through a prefix/suffix stripping process to get better search results.

My question is: do you have a similar process for foreign languages, say Spanish?

Thanks,
Jessica

The same process of suffix/prefix removal can be applied to any language, although you would need to supply your own prefix and suffix lists for languages other than English.

Does that mean you don't have a standard Metamorph matching logic (such as prefix and suffix stripping for English, but it maybe different for other languages) that can be applied to Spanish language?
Thanks again.

We do not have any logic or prefix/suffix lists specifically for Spanish.
