[Snowball-discuss] german stemmer / Kürbisse

*hiya!*

I use the sphinx search engine and have problems with
libstemmer_de.

I have text that includes the german word "Kürbis".
The plural of "Kürbis" is "Kürbisse". Now if I search für "Kürbisse"
I would expect results für "Kürbis" too (that's why I use libstemmer).

Obviously libstemmer_de creates "kurbiss" as stemmed form instead
of "kurbis" and therefore I get no results.
Is that a known problem? How can I solve it?


tia, kind regards
Wolfgang
