SwishResult::stem

(PECL swish >= 0.1.0)

Stems the given word

array SwishResult::stem ( string $word )

Stems the word based on the fuzzy mode used during indexing. Each result object is linked with its index, so the results are based on this index.

Parameters:

The word to stem.

Returns:

Returns array containing the stemmed word variants (usually just one).

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

Exception:

Examples:

Basic SwishResult::stem() example

<?php
 
try {
 
    $swish = new Swish("ext/swish/tests/index.swish-e");
    $results = $swish->query("testing OR others");
 
    if ($result = $results->nextResult()) {
        var_dump($result->stem("testing")); //the results fully depend on the stemmer used in the index
        var_dump($result->stem("others"));
    }
 
} catch (SwishException $e) {
    echo "Error: ", $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
 
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

array(1) {
  [0]=>
  string(4) "test"
}
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  string(5) "other"
}
