[Hebmorph-thinktank] HebMorph with solr: how to use stopwords

[layal a. <lab...@gm...>]

 Hi,

I am developing an application that supports indexing & searching of
multi-language texts, including hebrew, using the "solr" engine.

After lots of searches, I found that HebMorph is the best plugin to use for
hebrew language

My problem is that the behavior of HebMorph with hebrew stopwords seems to
be different than solr:

- Whith solr (any language): when I search for a stopword, the results
returned doesn't include any of the stopwords exxisting in query.

- Whereas when I search for hebrew terms (after pluging HebMorh in solr
following [this link][1]), the returned results include all existing
stopwords in the query.

1. Is this the normal behavior for HebMorph? If yes, how can I alter it? If
no, what should I change?

2. Since HebMorph doesn't support synonyms, (as I read in their
documentation that it is a future work). Is there a way to use synonyms for
hebrew as other languages the way solr supports it? (i.e. by adding the
proper filter in solrconfig and pointing out to the synonyms file)?

Thanks in advance for your help.
