[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-2244) Improve StandardTokenizer's understanding of non ASCII punctuation and quotes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2244?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12916044#action_12916044 ] 

Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2244:
-------------------------------------

Andi, now that LUCENE-2167 is resolved, i think we should revisit this one.

There are two issues:
* does the tokenization work the way it should for these quotes (I think LUCENE-2167 will do the right thing)?
* does the 's-stripping (analysis.en.EnglishPossessiveFilter) work the way you want?

For the latter: it could be extended itself to include more apostrophes, maybe from this list: http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/confusables.jsp?a='&r=None

Or someone could put ASCIIFoldingFilter before the EnglishPossessiveFilter.

> In the vein of LUCENE-1126 and LUCENE-1390, StandardTokenizerImpl.jflex should do a better job at understanding non-ASCII punctuation characters.
> For example, its understanding of the single-quote character "'" is currently limited to that character only. It will set a token's type to APOSTROPHE only if the "'" was used.
> In the patch attached, I added all the characters that ASCIIFoldingFilter would change into "'".
> I'm not sure that this is the right approach so I didn't write a complete patch for all the other hardcoded characters used in jflex rules such as ".", "-" which have some variants in ASCIIFoldingFilter that could be used as well.
> Maybe a better approach would be to make it possible to have an ASCIIFoldingFilter-like reader as a character filter that could be in inserted in front of StandardTokenizer ?
