Language Extension Pack extends dtSearch’s built-in Unicode international language support to add customized noise word list and stemming rules for over 25 European languages. The dtSearch product line includes Unicode support, allowing indexing and searching of the many hundreds of languages supported by the Unicode standard. Supplementing dtSearch’s built-in Unicode support, dtSearch’s UK distributor (www.dtsearch.co.uk) provides a European Language Extension Pack, with customized noise word lists and stemming rules (to find different linguistic variations on the same root word) for over two dozen European languages. From a sample Cyrillic white paper authored by dtSearch’s UK distributor: dtSearch “includes a mapping from the Cyrillic ‘i’ to the Latin ‘i’ and thus if you search on web pages spidered by dtSearch you would find all the web pages, irrespective of whether you have a Ukrainian keyboard or a Russian keyboard and make the error of substituting the Latin ‘i’. It is this depth of experience that distinguishes dtSearch from many of the newer entrants to the world of search technology.” More from Cyrillic white paper; More on Language Extension Pack
