Leo Thanks for your reply. I have taken a look at egothor.org. It does appear to be pretty simple. However, I need to use Lucene as my search engine.
>From what I understand, it appears that I need to be pretty conversant (if not an expert) with a language for which I wish to write a stemmer. Moreover, this stemmer can be used with the egothor search engine only? Can I use this stemmer with Lucene? If yes, how?

I'm sorry for a self-promo ;), but the stemmer of egothor project can be adapted to any language, and you needn't be a language expert. Moreover, the stemmer achieves better F-measure than Porter's stemmers.
