English Word stemmer .NET

Hi, I am trying to generate a keyword list for my search engine. Are there any samples available in .NET to stem English words using algorithms like Porter algorithm that stems English words like 'swimming' to 'swim'. Thanks for your help. New User

Hi, There are. Check out http://www.tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/. I have used the ".NET Compliant Csharp" version in a search engine application...works like a champ. A word of warning though: The stems are often not english words. The goal of the algorithm is not to reduce related English words to the same English word, but rather to reduce related English words to a common string. Bill
