Stemming

[Joel Bernstein <j....@ei.org>]

In our search application the user can turn stemming off and on.

With Lucene will I have to maintain two sets of indexes to create this functionality, one
stemming and one non-stemming index?

Or

Is there a way to query a stemming index so that it does not return stems?


Thanks,
Joel

You could have a single index with both stemmed and non-stemmed terms,
using different field names for each and searching a different set of
fields depending on the type of search.
You'd also have to use 2 types of analyzers/filters, I think.
Roughly.... :)
