[lucy-user] Custom stemmer

[Ashley Pond V <as...@gmail.com>]

Hi all. I wrote my own stemmer in plain Perl earlier today expecting
it wouldn't be too hard to figure out how to drop it into a
Lucy/KinoSearch Analysis stemmer. But it does seem to be too hard for
me to figure out, at least readily.

I searched and found only mentions of "yes, we should put up a
tutorial for writing analyzers..."

Is there better news? Is this something that has to go through
Clownfish or whatever the C/obj binding stuff is today?

Thanks so much for looking!

Unfortunately, we still don't have a tutorial for custom Analyzers. But 
you can write Analyzers in Perl and it's actually pretty easy.

This mailing list post should get you started:
