IStemmer interface
[Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.]
Provides methods for creating a language-specific stemmer. The stemmer generates inflected forms of a given word.
When to implement
Implement this interface to create a custom stemmer for a language. Indexing Service calls the methods of this interface to generate inflected forms for words identified when building an index.
Members
The IStemmer interface inherits from the IUnknown interface. IStemmer also has these types of members:
- Methods
Methods
The IStemmer interface has these methods.
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GenerateWordForms | Generates alternative forms for a word and puts them in the WordFormSink. |
| GetLicenseToUse | Gets the license information for this IStemmer implementation. |
| Init | Initializes the stemmer. |
Remarks
Stemmer components for Indexing Service run in the Local Security context. They should be written to manage buffers and to stack correctly. All string copies must have explicit checks to guard against buffer overruns. You should always verify the allocated size of the buffer and test the size of the data against the size of the buffer.
