Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted December 2, 200816 yr Just an idea but would be cool to see this either in IPB3 or ifnot, I will try and make a mod myself. But have you guys considered using the Porter Stemmer algorithm (see: http://tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming) Currently adding this to one of my custom sites and since I've heard some people complain about IPBs search function, I thought I should mention this.

December 2, 200816 yr 1) It's difficult to implement something like this, because we have many non-English speaking customers - we can't botch words from other languages 2) The page states that it should be used for IR research, and "Porter2" should be used for practical usage today - thus why wouldn't that be used, if something like this were to be implemented?
