    Summary: C stemming algorithm library
    Description: 
    Snowball stemming algorithms for use in Information Retrieval Snowball
    provides access to efficient algorithms for calculating a "stemmed"
    form of a word.  This is a form with most of the common morphological
    endings removed; hopefully representing a common linguistic base form.
    This is most useful in building search engines and information
    retrieval software; for example, a search with stemming enabled should
    be able to find a document containing "cycling" given the query
    "cycles".
    
    Snowball provides algorithms for several (mainly European) languages.
    It also provides access to the classic Porter stemming algorithm for
    English: although this has been superseded by an improved algorithm,
    the original algorithm may be of interest to information retrieval
    researchers wishing to reproduce results of earlier experiments.
