ASP Search Stemmer Class

The original stemmer class was developed by Martin Porter to bring words back to their word stems. For example "abilities" would stem to "able", "smelling" to "smell", "I'm awesome" to "damn straight", etc.

I couldn't find a Classic ASP version of this so I ported a port ( I'm not even sure if that's legal! ).

example usage



set Search = new Stemmer

     response.write tmp_string
set Search = nothing

This should produce an echo of "able". Below is a dictionary list of words you can test the class out with, let me know if you find any bugs or issues.
