Porter-Stemmer

· ·

This module implements the Porter-Stemmer algorithm to improve English-language searching with the Drupal built-in search.module.

It reduces each word in the index to its basic root or stem (e.g. 'blogging' to 'blog') so that variations on a word ('blogs', 'blogger', 'blogging', 'blog') are considered equivalent when searching. This generally results in more relevant results.

Note that the Porter Stemmer algorithm is specific to American English, so some British spellings will not be stemmed correctly.

The module is co-maintained by jhodgdon.
