Is there a way to use Lucene stemming and stop word removal without using the rest of the tool? I am downloading the code now, but I imagine the answer might be deeply burried. I would like to be able to send in a phrase and get back a collection of keywords if possible.
I am thinking of using an intermediary solution before moving fully to Lucene. I don't have time to spend a month making a carefully tested, administratable Lucene solution for my site yet, but I intend to do so over time. Funny thing is the Lucene code likely would only take up a couple hundred of lines, but integration and administration would take me much more time. In the meantime, I am thinking I could use perhaps Lucene steming and parsing of words, then stick each search word along with the associated primary key in an indexed MySql table. Each record I would need to do this to is small with maybe only average 15 userful words. I would be able to have an in-database solution though ranking, etc would not exist. This is better then the exact word searching i have currently which is really bad. By the way, MySql 4.1.1 has some Lucene type handling, but it too does not have stemming and I am sure it is very slow compaired to Lucene. Cpanel is still stuck on MySql 4.0.* so many people would not have access to even this basic ability in production systems for some time yet.
