Class StempelFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Closeable

    public final class StempelFilter

extends TokenFilter

Transforms the token stream as per the stemming algorithm.

Note: the input to the stemming filter must already be in lower case, so you will need to use LowerCaseFilter or LowerCaseTokenizer farther down the Tokenizer chain in order for this to work properly!
