How can Low Search use fuzzy search in french

laureent 14 Sep 2017 10:22 question, complete

I need to configure Low Search in order to use fuzzy search with french language.
The docs says I need inflections and stemmer, where can I find that for french ?
(To be honest, I don't even have a clue what I'm looking for)

Edit : Using Low Search V.4.4.5 for EE 2.11.6

   LS doesn't provide you with inflections/stemming for any other language than English (to be honest, it'd be a *lot* of work to support multiple languages), but it offers a way to add your own rules.
   
   Check the docs:
   - Inflections: http://gotolow.com/addons/low-search/...
   - Stemming: http://gotolow.com/addons/low-search/...
   
   Then search for something like "Porter stemmer french php" or "french inflection rules php".

   This ‘lot’ of work is way over my head and the client is finally happy as is.
   Done!
