US/UK/CA/AU English support
Hi,
1) Out of US/UK/CA/AU,which english does solr support ?
2) PhoneticFilterFactory perform search for similar sounding words.
For example : search on carat will give results of carat, caret and carrat.
I also observed that PhoneticFilterFactory also support linguistic
variation for US/UK/CA/AU.
For example: search on Optimize give results of optimise and optimize.
Question : Does PhoneticFilterFactory support all characters/ words of
linguistic variations for US/UK/CA/AU OR linguistic search for US/UK/CA/AU
will be subset of phonetic search.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Prerna

Please clarify what you mean by "support"? The only thing in Solr
that is potentially language dependent are the Tokenizers and
TokenFilters and those are completely pluggable. For tokenization,
I'd say all are supported since all of those languages are whitespace
delimited. For things like stemming and synonyms, I'm not sure, but I
suspect many of the existing capabilities will work in most cases,
which is all one can ever expect no matter the language.

I would think so, but I might suggest using either the Admin analysis
capabilities and doing some tests with the various FieldTypes or
automating some more tests by using the AnalysisRequestHandler (or
whatever it is called these days)
