Trying to match queries containing "russia" or "russian" to "Russian Federation" using Solr (as well as other country demonyms, such as "american", "syrian" etc).
What is a good way to handle this without adding synonyms for each country, and without doing much stemming on other words?
Turns out stemming was the right approach, but the Porter stemmer was too aggressive for some terms.
The KStemFilterFactory is less aggressive and worked well.
