Hello,
We have implemented language specific search in Solr using language specific fields and field types. For instance, an en_text field type can use an English stemmer, and list of stopwords and synonyms. We, however did not use specific stopwords, instead we used one list shared by both languages. So you would have a field type like: <fieldType name="en_text" class="solr.TextField" ... <analyzer type=""> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" words="stopwords.en.txt"> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synoyms.en.txt"> etc etc. Cheers, - Markus Jelsma Buyways B.V.
