Word Breaker and Stemmer Sample

  • Статья

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

The lrsample sample includes an example IWordBreaker implementation, an example IStemmer implementation, and the DLL entry points and exports for the component. The word breaker implementation parses Unicode text based on the occurrence of white space and punctuation. The stemmer implementation uses a small, static custom dictionary to look up and generate inflected forms for words. The sample words are English words and their inflected forms.

The language resource code sample is located in mssdk\samples\winbase\indexing\lrsample (where mssdk is the directory where the Platform SDK is installed).

To build the sample

  1. Set the Lib environment variable to drive:\mssdk\Lib;%Lib% and the Include environment variable to drive:\mssdk\Include;%Include% (where drive is the drive on which you installed the Platform SDK).
  2. Open a command prompt window, and then change the directory to the source path of the sample.
  3. At the command prompt, type nmake to build the language resource DLL.

To register the sample

  1. Copy the language resource DLL, the lrsample.dll file, to your installation directory (for example, drive:\MyDLLs).
  2. At the command prompt, type regsvr32.exe drive**:\MyDLLs\lrsample.dll** to self-register the filter.

The word breaker and stemmer are available when Indexing Service starts.

  • The word breaker is registered under class ID d225281a-7ca9-4a46-ae7d-c63a9d4815d4.

  • The stemmer is registered under class ID 0a275611-aa4d-4b39-8290-4baf77703f55.

    The class IDs for these and other word breakers and stemmers are located in the following registry location:

    hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\contentindex\language

    The samples are registered under the English language and the "English_Sample" sublanguage.

Programmer's Notes

The lrsample sample demonstrates the basic structure of a word breaker and stemmer. It minimally implements the methods of the IWordBreaker and IStemmer interfaces.

The following table shows source files for the lrsample sample and provides a short description for each file.

File Description
Lrsample.cxx C++ source file that contains the IWordBreaker interface implementation (CSampleWordBreaker), the IStemmer interface implementation (CSampleStemmer), and the DLL export functions
Lrsample.hxx C++ header file that contains the class definitions for CSampleWordBreaker, CSampleStemmer, and CLanguageResrouceSampleCF, the class factory for the sample
Langreg.hxx C++ header file that contains utilities for registering language resources
Lrsample.def Definition file that contains definitions for DLL export functions
Minici.hxx C++ header file that contains utility functions for the sample

 

CSampleWordBreaker is the class implementation of the IWordBreaker interface. It implements a private method, CSampleWordBreaker::Tokenize, in addition to implementations for the public interface methods. CSampleWordBreaker::BreakText reads text from the text source, TEXT_SOURCE, and calls the Tokenize method on the contents of the text buffer. CSampleWordBreaker::Tokenize breaks text based on the accuracy of white space and word separators for this locale, as determined by a call to GetStringTypeW in the Microsoft Win32 APIs. CSampleWordBreaker::Tokenize also removes punctuation and makes the appropriate calls methods of the WordSink object.

CSampleStemmer is the class implementation of the IStemmer interface. CSampleStemmer::GenerateWordForms takes input words and generates alternative, inflected, word forms for that word based on the contents of a small, custom dictionary contained in the aStemForms[] array. This stemmer implementation does not perform any morphological analysis in determining inflected forms for a word. The aStemForms[] array contains English words and their inflected forms. You can modify the array for words and alternative forms for any other inflected language. The custom dictionary is implemented as a static array in this sample to illustrate basic stemmer functionality. You should not expand or use this dictionary implementation in a production environment.

Error Handling

Error handling in the language resource sample is rudimentary. The sample handles only the most obvious error conditions. If you use the language resource as a basis for your own word breaker or stemmer, you must determine the additional error conditions that you must detect and handle.
