Fix issues with Porter stemming algorithm #5

Open elizagrames opened 5 years ago

elizagrames commented 5 years ago

Modify the stemming functions to fix known issues with Porter's stemming algorithm (e.g. density -> densiti instead of densit)

My issue (@elizagrames, I sent you an email yesterday before finding this open issue) is likely related to this.

When I print my final search string, it has changed what I would expect to be "y" letters for "i" letters at the end of words that end in "y". For example, my search terms include words like “rugby” and “body temperature”, but the output is giving me terms such as “rugbi” and “bodi temperatur*”.
