This module improves the results of the search module for the Italian language.
It is an implementation of Martin Porter's stemming algorithm for Italian language (the customized algorithm can be found here).
It is based on an original php code written by Roberto Mirizzi (roberto.mirizzi@gmail.com).
It reduces each word to its basic root or stem (i.e., "pronunciare", "pronunciato", "pronuncia" to "pronunc") to perform search.
This way the search results (based on score calculation) are improved and more accurate.
Usage:
- activate the module
- it works correctly with regular use of cron (or a software emulation like Poormanscron); for best results, website should be entirely re-indexed.
