Multi-language support

[revas <re...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

To reframe my earlier question

Some languages have just analyzers only but nostemmer from snowball
porter,then does the analyzer take care of stemming as well?

Some languages only have the stemmer from snowball but no analyzer?

Some have both.

Can we say then that solr supports all the above languages .Will search be
same across all the above cases?

thanks
revas

I just responded to the earlier question, but it didn't contain this  
question.  No, I wouldn't say that search would be the same.  Stemmed  
vs. non-stemmed may result in different results, just as one stemmer  
implementation results will differ from a different stemming approach.
