Searching different types of words
If I search for "like" I would want the search to return documents
containing "like", "liked", "likes", etc.. variations of the word.
Is there a way to tell Lucene to do this?

Hi
I'd recommend Kstem over Porter, it performs much better on English let
alone when you get to other languages. You can get the source code for
Kstem.jar at teh following website:

Yes.
For this particular example, PorterStemFilter will do the job.
For more complex things (e.g. a search for car returning car, auto,
automobile, vehicle) you'll need to add thesaurus-like capability to
your indexer. This can be done by writing a custom Analyzer.
It sounds like you have a lot of questions, but have not read much
Lucene documentation. :)
