Universal stemmer that can process almost any (European) language. (No testing has been done for other languages.)

Mailing lists. There is one public mailing list: <egothor-tech@egothor.org> - user questions and answers, general questions, technical topics for Egothor developers and advanced users.
History
SM2 is rewritten and SM3 (code-name Egothor, Sheeef) is here. Aim: Composing all our results together.
Finding a true dynamisation of indices. Aim: (weak) Real-time indexing
I/O tests of JAVA platform; compression of small numbers in JAVA. Aim: Could we build an engine for huge collections?
As part of SM2 the multilingual stemmer is developed. Aim: Semi-automatic error free stemmer for any European language.
The Second Search Maestro (SM2) is developed. Aim: Pilot project.
The First Search Maestro was created. Platform: OS/2, C/C++/REXX/OREXX. Aim: Native search engine for OS/2.
