From Elementary Word Forms to Production Search: How Text Analysis Powers Search
Last night, I helped my child with homework: we learned about word forms. We worked through the word "metal", including "metallic", "metalling" and "metalled." While this is an elementary school topic, it struck me: this is a problem we solve as engineers building search systems. If a user searches for "metallic", they should find documents containing "metal." Likewise, if someone queries "running", they should also be presented with results associated with "run."
Welcome to the world of text analysis. We will walk through an example using word forms and how Lucenia helps with this analysis to improve search.
