Have you used Luke to see what is actually in the index? Or written
some test cases for your analyzer to know that the appropriate tokens
are coming out of your analyzer?
Also, could you give more details about the filters you are using? I
am not familiar w/ ExactTokensConstructorFilter, etc.
The formatting is a little hard to read, but I think it says you are
passing the ArabicStemmer to the SnowballFilter, correct? I assume
you are dealing w/ mixed content, correct? That is, you have Arabic
and English in the same token stream? I know when I was working on
our Arabic/English project, we had to be careful about mixed content
like this.

Dear all,
We are using a Unified Analyzer as the analyzer of Lucene so as to be
able to index and search Arabic and English documents as well.
Here is the code:
public TokenStream tokenStream(String FieldName, Reader reader)
{
switch(analysisMode) {
case UNIFIED:
return new ExactTokensContructorFilter(
new SnowballFilter(
new
ArabicStemmer(
new
ExactTokensSpecifierFilter(
getStandardAnalyzerStream(
reader)),
false,false)
,latinLanguage));
case EXACT:
return new ExactTokensContructorFilter(
new
ExactTokensSpecifierFilter(
getStandardAnalyzerStream(
reader)));
}
return null;
}
But the problem is that the results of the morphological search in
English and Arabic are not good, for example:
The data in which I search contains "test", "testing" and "tested",
then
when I search for "testing", it doesn't give "test" in the search
results, although that when I traced it I found that the tokens of
"testing" contains "test". But when I search for "manage", it gives me
"management" in the search results which is correct. So what's the
difference between both cases?
Beside that I tried to use only the Snowball Analyzer instead of the
Unified Analyzer and apply the same test but this time it gives
correct
and good results!!
So can anyone help, why using Unified Analyzer affects the results?
Note: latinLanguage in the above code = "English"
Thanks & Best Regards,
