Does this make sense?
Exactly. Create a clone of SnowballAnalyzer (from Lucene source package) in your own package and remove LowercaseFilter. But be aware, it could be that snowball needs lowercased terms to correctly do stemming!!! I don't know about this filter, I just want to make you aware. The same applies to stop filter, but this one allows to handle that: You should make stop-filter case insensitive (there is a boolean to do this): StopFilter(boolean enablePositionIncrements, TokenStream input, Set<?> stopWords, boolean ignoreCase) Uwe > Martin O'Shea. > -----Original Message----- > From: Uwe Schindler [mailto:u...@thetaphi.de] > Sent: 10 Nov 2014 14 06 > To: java-user@lucene.apache.org > Subject: RE: How to disable LowerCaseFilter when using SnowballAnalyzer in > Lucene 3.0.2 > > Hi, > > In general, you cannot change Analyzers, they are "examples" and can be > seen as "best practise".
