[Xapian-discuss] Query parser and stemming of norwegian letters

[Ivar Bratberg]

Hello, can I get an explanation of the following.
Running the following code:
 
....     
       pqp=new QueryParser();
       Stem stem("norwegian");
       cout << "DEBUG " <<  stem.stem_word(_sXapian)<< endl;
       pqp->set_stemmer(stem);
       pqp->set_database(*_pdatabase);
       pqp->set_default_op(Query::OP_AND);
      
      //Set the enquire
       Query p=pqp->parse_query(_sXapian);
       cout << " Query " << string(bufSL) << p.get_description() << endl;
---

gives the follwing output
DEBUG  høy
 Query norwegianXapian::Query((ha:(pos=1) AND y:(pos=2)))

the ø is unicode c3b8

Why does the queryparser produce something different than a direct 
stemmer call ?

Best regards,
IB
