Description Christian Gruen 2009-03-09 14:27:54 UTC 
Sorry, another one.. the stemming file "english-stems.txt" seems to have some inconsistencies..

[...]
test tests testing tested testers
picture pictures
use user
users user
[...]

"tests, testing" etc is stemmed to "test", which won't work for the "user" term.

Thanks,

Christian, BaseX Team

Hi Christian,

I have reordered each line in stemming file to begin with the simplest form of the word. 

I have combined and added forms of words to the use/users line. It is now:
use uses using used user users

I have reviewed every test case that calls the stemming file and whose query contains use or user to be sure that this did not nullify the test cases or change the results.

If this result is acceptable, please close the bug.
