ran into an interesting issue - and I’m not sure if anything can be done about it - the snowball stemmer treats “severance” and “several” as the same, which for me is a big, big issue.
even quoting it doesn’t help.
indie=> select to_tsvector('severance several');
to_tsvector
-------------
'sever':1,2
(1 row)
indie=> select to_tsvector('"severance" several');
to_tsvector
-------------
'sever':1,2
(1 row)
using the perl library Lingua::Stem::Snowball it yields the same results (as expected since they both use snowball).
am I SOL here?
