Stop Words

I apologize if it's in the documentation, but is there a way to modify the stop words used by the Lucene engine?

No currently not, however I have added in an alternative constructor for the LuceneSearchEngine which will allow you to specify the stopwords which will be used when it creates the Analyzer instance it uses internally. I would have preferred to allow this to take in an Analyzer instance of your choosing since this would allow for more configuration on your end and would allow support for custom analyzers however Lucene is not currently CLS compliant so unfortunately Ill make do with this one overload for now :)

This update will be in the next nightly build for you.

Ok I see the new constructor (thanks), but I am unsure how to use it.

I was thinking it was along the lines of :

Mindscape.LightSpeed.Search.LuceneSearchEngine = new LuceneSearchEngine(stopWords.ToArray());

Or

Mindscape.LightSpeed.Search.LuceneSearchEngine().LuceneSearchEngine(stopWords.ToArray());

But I those aren't correct. How do you use it? Am I being really obtuse and it's easy?

You use this by assigning it to the SearchEngine property on your LightSpeedContext instance.

e.g.

string[] stopWords = new string[2] { "foo", "bar" };

// context is a LightSpeedContext instance
context.SearchEngine = new SearchEngineBroker(new LuceneSearchEngine(stopWords));

Thanks a ton for the great support! That helped finish a project (I hope).
