liblingua-stem-snowball-perl - 0.952-4+b3 main

Stemming reduces related words to a common root form. For instance, "horse",
"horses", and "horsing" all become "hors". Most commonly, stemming is
deployed as part of a search application, allowing searches for a given term
to match documents which contain other forms of that term.
.
This module is very similar to Lingua::Stem -- however,
Lingua::Stem is pure Perl, while Lingua::Stem::Snowball is an XS module which
provides a Perl interface to the C version of the Snowball stemmers.
