I think a noun (which also exists in verbs) followed by a preposition should be marked as a verb?

[spencermountain]

hey Nikhil, I believe looks like works a verb in that sentence - if the sentence were john looks like joe, wouldn't it be the verb of that sentence also? of course you're free to change it - you can do this:

doc.match('[#Noun] #Preposition', 0 ).tag('Verb')

that should fix your case, but be wary of other changes it will make cheers
