suffix processing

kdua · Post by **kdua** » Tue Jul 24, 2001 1:27 pm

I have 2 questions-
1. Do I have to create the Index with the suffix processing apicp parameters so that my search can find words with suffixes.
2. Does Suffix precessing work with 2 word queries?

I have set the foll parameters:
<apicp suffixproc 1>
<apicp minwordlen 5>
<$minsuflst = "s" "es" "'s" "'">
<apicp suffix $minsuflst>
but my search is not getting 'dry eye' when i search for 'dry eyes'..instead it gets pages with dry or eye..but not both....i have also tried setting likepallmatch=1 but then it doesn't get anything...
Pls help..

You do not need to rebuild the index with different suffix processing settings.

The suffix processing does work with two word queries.

The problem in your example is that minwordlen is set to 5, and you want suffixes removed down to a length of 3 for "eye".
