There are some languages in which the apostrophe is used a letter of the alphabet rather than an item of punctuation.
e.g. Somali, in which the apostrophe represents the /Alef/. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_alphabet Guessing that our Lucene indexing method generally strips out such punctuation marks, it would be a useful enhancement in SWORD to be able to specify in the conf file that a particular punctuation mark should be parsed as a letter, such that the search index would then include the words containing this letter. David PS. There is a related issue in the SomKQA module that I'm researching with the providers of the source text. It's conceivable that all the single right quotation marks should really be apostrophes. Their inclusion in the text may easily have been due to an artifact of their original editing environment. -- View this message in context: http://sword-dev.350566.n4.nabble.com/Re-Search-bug-New-Arabic-Bible-Not-Shaped-SVD-Version-tp4651330p4651383.html Sent from the SWORD Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
