    We only have 2 paid up customers in Poland. So it doesn't make sense to spend any time on Polish stemming.
    We could look at it as a paid consulting job if it was important for a particular customer.

    We had briefly investigated this. The problem with Polish is that you cannot have a stemming method that is entirely algorithm based -- unlike all of the above mentioned (and already implemented) languages.

    Instead, Polish would require a dictionary or lookup table. So extra data would be needed for the effectiveness of the stemming. This would alter the requirements of the search script (e.g. number of files, space requirements, etc.) and isn't something we can add easily without bigger changes.

    I would like to know which the 16 languages are that stemming works for. Couldn't find it in the article. I think it's a great feature

    There are no plurals or past and present tense in Chinese. And these are the main issues that stemming addresses.

    The whole concept of Chinese language stemming doesn't really make sense (as far as I know).

    Does that mean that the stemming function does not work for Chinese as well?

    V6 is now old. In case you didn't notice this post was started 2 years ago.

    You can add your own language translations from the languages configuration window.

    Yes, it is mentioned under "Known limitations" here:
    http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/support...ht.html#limits

    There is no practical/efficient way to get the "jump to highlighting" script (which is a small JavaScript that runs on each of your content pages) to perform stemming, or to pass it a list of all the matches found on that page. So unless we blow out the complexity of that highlighting script (such that it has a stemming algorithm and we perform a stemming comparison against every word on the page -- this is really not wise considering the script is to be integrated to every page on so many different websites -- many of which have alot of other JS running already and it may conflict in functionality not to mention execution time).

    As noted, we simply cannot "highlight" every occurrence that is considered by the actual indexing and matching algorithm (which is much more complicated and has much more resources available, there is also synonyms and diacritics, etc.), without costing elsewhere (e.g. script complexity, more integration problems, larger download per page and so slower access times, etc.).

    So the jump to highlighting script serves as a highlight of some occurrences, not as an accurate representation of what have been matched.
