javascript fulltext search framework with multilingual support

Question

i need to do fulltext search via javascript on client-side. I found lunr. It is great, but i need multilingual support. Can you help me?

Answer 1

EDIT There is a project (lunr-languages) that provides support for multiple languages, the currently supported languages are:

• German
• French
• Spanish
• Italian
• Japanese
• Dutch
• Danish
• Portuguese
• Finnish
• Romanian
• Hungarian
• Russian
• Norwegian

Multi-language support is coming to lunr in the next release. There are already adapters for french and russian, which languages do you need to support?

I only speak English so testing the quality of these adapters is difficult for me, I'm always looking for support from people who have a need for the other language adapters with testing etc.

You can take a look at either the French or Russian adapters to see what is required, you just need to create a stemmer for the required language and implement a stop word list containing very common words in the language.
