Add stemming filters to Solr, following the configuration of 1 and 2.
Add the following content:
<filter class="solr.EnglishPossessiveFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.KeywordMarkerFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/>
<filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.KeywordRepeatFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.PorterStemFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/>
under the line ' <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> ' of <fieldType name="text_alterstopw"/> and <fieldType name="text_general"/>. Four copies of the above stuff. To make this change effective, need to index the documents with this new configuration.
