RefGuide: Are we missing English section in Language Analysis page on purpose?
Hi,
I am looking at: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_4/language-analysis.html
And it has a lot of information on individual languages - but not
actually for English. This feels like a curious omission, especially
given that we do have a couple of filters that would be interesting to
mention and are not necessarily obvious (e.g. KStemFilterFactory).
Am I missing something?
Regards,
Alex.

Well, it is not so much that English is supported, but specifically
which filters and tokenizers and resources we have for English. I am
not sure where else we describe them in such clustered way.
Now that I know it is not an on-purpose thing, I've created the JIRA
(SOLR-12580) and will try to contribute when I have time.
Regards,
Alex.

The omission isn't that curious IMO, it's a relatively common assumption on
the part of native English speakers reading docs written in English that of
course English is supported.
However, I can see your point if I try to envision reading the Guide as
someone working in a situation where non-English languages are primary -
the initial assumption is likely different. If you believe the language
discussion can be improved by specifically describing best practices for
English, patches are always welcome.
