Subject: handling keys in the REST view API
Date: Fri, 29 May 2009 11:47:47 +0200

Hi,

I'm trying to write a very basic fulltext search facility and managed  
to get something working:

http://log4p.com/2009/05/28/simple-fulltext-analysis-in-couchdb/

Currently I sanitize the source text, remove stopwords (English that  
is) and emit a each term (with the number of occurences). Quite useful  
(for me) already.

The next step would be to add stemming, not to hard either (have a  
working prototype already). This does however present me with a new  
problem. I'd like to stem the provided keys in the REST parameters  
using the same stemmer used by the mapping code. Is there a way to  
process the parameters passed to a REST view within CouchDB? Or would  
I need to duplicate (port) the stemmer in the clients (which are  
various in various languages)?

kind regards,

Peter
