Description

Resource ID

Value assigned to the Translate Table to identify it from other resources used by the installation. The resource ID must be different from that of any other resource defined for the installation.

Language Processing

Flag indicating whether the language specific routine defined in the Language field should be used.  Set the flag to ON to use a language specific routine when stemming.  Set the flag to OFF to do only the stemming specified in the Suffix List.

Language

Defines the language that will be used to finalize the stemming process.  Currently ENGLISH is the only language supported.

Trim Plurals Flag

Flag indicating whether recognized plurals are to be trimmed using English language standards. The choices are: OFF, indicating trimming of plurals should not be done; and ON, indicating trimming of plurals should be done. Besides simple trimming of “s” and “es”, “ies” is replaced by “y” and “lves” is replaced by “lf”. However, Latin plurals ending in “ae” or “i” are not handled, nor are special spellings such as “mice” from “mouse” or “oxen” from “ox”.

Compress Doubles Flag

Flag indicating that all double consonants are to be compressed down to a single character. This can be very useful in combatting simple spelling errors, both within documents and within search requests.

Case Sensitive

Flag indicating whether keywords should be treated equivalent independent of their case.  Set the flag to ON to use an internal case sensitive character set.  Set the flag to OFF to use a case insensitive character set.

Stemming Threshold

The number of characters a word must contain before trimming of plurals or stemming will take place.
