Source and associated data files for testing hosted at: http://github.com/msbmsb/stem-search.vim StmSrch is a reverse-stem searching script. It implements the Porter stemming algorithm, by Martin Porter. It also handles irregular verbs and noun pluralizations. This script can be useful for searching or scanning through corpus files. Each word input to the :StmSrch command will be stemmed and then formulated in such a way as to match possible conjugations or pluralizations. Without any word given for input, it will attempt to stem the current word under the cursor. The matching is done using word boundaries so not just any substring will match. For example: - :StmSrch search will match any of: - search, searching, searches, searchers, searched, ... and a string of words will work as well, matching in order: - :StmSrch thieves are running from bunnies will match strings of words like: - thief was ran from bunny - thieves be run from bunnies Search hits are highlighted, and the highlight color can be modified by editing the color in the s:StmSrchInit() function. The matches will stay highlighted even if you search again using the normal '/' key. This is useful for cases where you are browsing through a large corpus file, for example and want to see the relative location of matches. Use :ClrStmSrch to clear the highlighting for the StmSrch group. For stemmed words, the search is greedy and may over match. This was useful for my purposes. If more exact word endings are required, this can be added. ---- To use this vim script, add it to ~/.vim/plugin/ See doc/stem-search.vim.txt for more information about the script. ----
