    <title>Introduction</title>

    <para>A common requirement for technical publications groups is to produce a Web-based help
      format that includes a table of contents pane, a search feature, and an index similar to what
      you get from the Microsoft HTML Help (.chm) format or Eclipse help. If the content is help for
      a Web application that is not exposed to the Internet or requires that the user be logged in,
      then it is impossible to use services like Google to add search. <indexterm class="singular">

      <title>Adding support for other (non-CJKV) languages</title>

      <para>To support stemming for a language, the search mechanism requires
      a stemmer implemented in both Java and JavaScript. The Java version is
      used by the indexer and the JavaScript verison is used to stem the
      user's input on the search form. Currently the search mechanism supports
      stemming for English and German. In addition, Java stemmers are included
      for the following languages. Therefore, to support these languages, you
      only need to implement the stemmer in JavaScript and add it to the
      template. If you do undertake this task, please consider contributing
      the JavaScript version back to this project and to <ulink

      <para role="summary">Overview design of Search mechanism.</para>
      <para>
        The searching is a fully client-side implementation of querying texts for
        content searching, and no server is involved. That means when a user enters a query, 
        it is processed by JavaScript inside the browser, and displays the matching results by
        comparing the query with a generated 'index', which too reside in the client-side web browser.
        
        Mainly the search mechanism has two parts.
        <itemizedlist>
          <listitem>
            <para>Indexing: First we need to traverse the content in the docs/content folder and index 
              the words in it. This is done by <filename>nw-cms.jar</filename>. You can invoke it by  
            <code>ant index</code> command from the root of webhelp of directory. You can recompile it 
              again and build the jar file by <code>ant build-indexer</code>. Indexer has some extensive 
              support for such as stemming of words. Indexer has extensive support for English, German,
              French languages. By extensive support, what I meant is that those texts are stemmed
              first, to get the root word and then indexes them. For CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)
              languages, it uses bi-gram tokenizing to break up the words. (CJK languages does not have 
              spaces between words.)                
            </para>
            <para>
              When we run <code>ant index</code>, it generates five output files:
                <itemizedlist>
                  <listitem>
                    <para><filename>htmlFileList.js</filename> - This contains an array named <code>fl</code> which stores details

        <title>New Stemmers</title>
        <para role="summary">Adding new Stemmers is very simple.</para>
        <para>Currently, only English, French, and German stemmers are integrated in to WebHelp. But the code is
        extensible such that you can add new stemmers easily by few steps.</para>
        <para>What you need:
        <itemizedlist> 
          <listitem>
            <para>You'll need two versions of the stemmer; One written in JavaScript, and another in Java. But fortunately, 
              Snowball contains Java stemmers for number of popular languages, and are already included with the package. 
              You can see the full list in <ulink url="ch02s04.html">Adding support for other (non-CJKV) languages</ulink>. 
              If your language is listed there,
              Then you have to find javascript version of the stemmer. Generally, new stemmers are getting added in to
              <ulink url="http://snowball.tartarus.org/otherlangs/index.html">Snowball Stemmers in other languages</ulink> location.
              If javascript stemmer for your language is available, then download it. Else, you can write a new stemmer in 
              JavaScript using SnowBall algorithm fairly easily. Algorithms are at  
              <ulink url="http://snowball.tartarus.org/">Snowball</ulink>. 
            </para>
          </listitem>
          <listitem>
            <para>Then, name the JS stemmer exactly like this: <filename>{$language-code}_stemmer.js</filename>. For example, 
              for Italian(it), name it as, <filename>it_stemmer.js</filename>. Then, copy it to the 
              <filename>docbook-webhelp/template/content/search/stemmers/</filename> folder. (I assumed 
              <filename>docbook-webhelp</filename> is the root folder for webhelp.)
              <note>
                <para>Make sure you changed the <code>webhelp.indexer.language</code> property in <filename>build.properties</filename>
                to your language.
