Hi Robert,
This is what I copied from ThaiAnalyzer @ lucene contrib
public class ThaiAnalyzer extends Analyzer {
public TokenStream tokenStream(String fieldName, Reader reader) {
TokenStream ts = new StandardTokenizer(reader);
ts = new StandardFilter(ts);
ts = new ThaiWordFilter(ts);
ts = new StopFilter(ts, StopAnalyzer.ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS);
return ts;
}
}
Now as you said, I've to use whitespacetokenizer withworddelimitefilter[solr
nightly.jar] stop wordremoval, porter stemmer etc , so it is something like
this,
public class IndicAnalyzer extends Analyzer {
public TokenStream tokenStream(String fieldName, Reader reader) {
TokenStream ts = new WhiteSpaceTokenizer(reader);
ts = new WordDelimiterFilter(ts);
ts = new LowerCaseFilter(ts);
ts = new StopFilter(ts, StopAnalyzer.ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) // english
stop filter, is this the default one?
ts = new PorterFilter(ts);
return ts;
}
}
Does this sound OK? I think it will do the job...let me try it out..
I dont need custom filter as per my requirement, at least not for these
basic things I'm doing? I think so...
Thanks,
KK.
