=head1 NAME
KinoSearch::Analysis::Stopalizer - suppress a "stoplist" of common words
=head1 SYNOPSIS
my $stopalizer = KinoSearch::Analysis::Stopalizer->new(
language => 'fr',
);
my $polyanalyzer = KinoSearch::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new(
analyzers => [ $lc_normalizer, $tokenizer, $stopalizer, $stemmer ],
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A "stoplist" is collection of "stopwords": words which are common enough to be
of little value when determining search results. For example, so many
documents in English contain "the", "if", and "maybe" that it may improve both
performance and relevance to block them.
# before
@token_texts = ('i', 'am', 'the', 'walrus');
# after
@token_texts = ('', '', '', 'walrus');
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=head2 new
my $stopalizer = KinoSearch::Analysis::Stopalizer->new(
language => 'de',
);
# or...
my $stopalizer = KinoSearch::Analysis::Stopalizer->new(
stoplist => \%stoplist,
);
new() takes two possible parameters, C<language> and C<stoplist>. If
C<stoplist> is supplied, it will be used, overriding the behavior indicated by
the value of C<language>.
=over
=item
B<stoplist> - must be a hashref, with stopwords as the keys of the hash and
values set to 1.
=item
B<language> - must be the ISO code for a language. Loads a default stoplist
supplied by L<Lingua::StopWords|Lingua::StopWords>.
