how to use the snowball analyzer to index french text?

Uddam,

I can't tell with certainty whether you are aware of Snowball Analyzers
for Lucene or not. Take a look at Lucene Sandbox:
http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/lucene-sandbox/. You will see
Snowball Stemmers for Lucene contribution there.

That includes the French stemmer, so you shouldn't need to write any
new code.

Hi,

Well, thanks to Otis for the pointing me to the page of snowball but i'm still so dumb to get in on!

I don't really know how to incorporate the french stemmer in to a snowball analyzer.

Any sample code will be admired!

Thanks before hand!

Here is a short example from our Lucene in Action book's code:

public void testSpanish() throws Exception {
Analyzer analyzer = new SnowballAnalyzer("Spanish");

assertAnalyzesTo(analyzer,
"algoritmos", new String[] {"algoritm"});
}

Substitute "French" for "Spanish" and you should be in business,
provided you've grabbed 'snowball' source code from the
jakarta-lucene-sandbox CVS repository in the contributions/snowball
area.

Thanks alot Erik for this hint. I went to the repository of "jakarta-lucene-sandbox/contribution/analyzers/src/java/org/apache/lucene/analysis/fr" and found the source of three class for analyzing the french text.

that's usable in my case.

Thanks once again!

Thanks anyway for your help!
