Component body
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.
