# Class GermanAnalyzer

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.analysis.Analyzer
org.apache.lucene.analysis.StopwordAnalyzerBase
org.apache.lucene.analysis.de.GermanAnalyzer

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Closeable`, `AutoCloseable`

public final class GermanAnalyzer extends StopwordAnalyzerBase
`Analyzer` for German language.

Supports an external list of stopwords (words that will not be indexed at all) and an external list of exclusions (word that will not be stemmed, but indexed). A default set of stopwords is used unless an alternative list is specified, but the exclusion list is empty by default.

NOTE: This class uses the same `Version` dependent settings as `StandardAnalyzer`.

NOTE: This class does not decompound nouns, additional data files are needed, incompatible with the Apache 2.0 License. You can find these data files and example code for decompounding here.

  3.1
