Stemming without free-text search in stardog

Question

I am using stardog as semantic database.

Query: except all kinds of Mango & vegetable.

Expected output: except all kind of Mangoes & vegetables.

Actual output: 0 results.

I have tried English Analyzer library for stemming. But as per my understanding, it works only when we search with free-text (i.e. tag:stardog:api:property:textMatch).

If I enable free-text, I don't mind results like 'except all kinds of vegetable'. But as free-text matches all words and combinations, many results are irrelevent (eg. except trips).

Current query:

  select * where {
  ?s a p:NamedEntity .

  ?s hasTitle ?l.

  (?l ?score) <tag:stardog:api:property:textMatch>
      'except all **kinds** of **Mango** & **vegetable**'
  }order by desc(?score)

My Question:

1. Can English analyzer be used without free-text search?

2. Is there any other way to achieve the same?

Answer 1

You can specify custom analyzers.
