Hi, This might be more of a questing related to the PorterStemmer algorithm rather than with lucene, but if anyone has the knowledge please share.
I am using the PorterStemFilter that some with lucene and it turns out that searching for the word 'printer' does not return a document containing the text 'print'. To narrow down the problem, I have tested the PorterStemFilter in a standalone programs and it turns out that the stem of printer is 'printer' and not 'print'. That is 'printer' is not equal to 'print' + 'er', the whole of the word is stem. Can somebody explain the behavior.
