Re: querying English conjugation of verbs and comparative and
superlative of adjectives
If thou wast to investigate the stemmers would that work? I
confess that I've never examined the output in detail, but
they might help.
I don't know of any synonym lists offhand, but then again I haven't
looked.

I don't expect this to work at all. Stemmers apply heuristics to try to
fold words into their stem. They are notoriously incapable of handling
irregular forms of a word. You'd need to look more at a synonym
list for words like your example.

I've tried o.a.s.a.EnglishPorterFilterFactory, which creates
org.tartarus.snowball.ext.EnglishStemmer,
but didn't get any success... I'd like to search "went" and "gone" when
I query "go".
Thank you,
