[Snowball-discuss] TM (trademark) removal

[Steve Jones]

Hi,

 

I don't think this really counts as stemming, but it seems a sensible place to ask my question: if a word has a TM suffix (such as JavaTM => javatm), is it wise or unwise to remove it? Or could it be argued you need to split the word and index it as two tokens, 'java' and 'tm'?

 

Removing it seems logical to me, but I'd be interested to hear anyone else's thoughts.

 

Thanks,

Steve

 

PS. I did try to search the archives to see if this had been discussed already, but I was refused access with what seems to be my correct username and password.
