French stemmer

This module improves results of the search module for the french language.

It does so by using the Paice Husk stemmer algorithm and some extra process :

• accents are removed,
• 'au' 'eau' 'o' are interpreted as 'o',
• double letters are reduced to one letter, 'tt', 'mm', 'nn' etc. are interpreted as 't', 'm', 'n' etc.,
• depending on its following letters, 'c' is converted to 'k' or 's',
• ...

Keys :

• activated periodically by search and cron,
• does not add new tables to your database.

This module has been developped for the french city of Rouen website.
