You can optionally add an auxiliary dictionary to supplement the primary OLT dictionary for any supported language. This may be necessary if searches for terms that exist in your data are not producing the expected results.
The auxiliary dictionary is a UTF-8 encoded file that is line oriented and tab delimited. Each line in the file represents an entry to supplement the primary dictionary.
Entries to an auxiliary dictionary are of the following form:
COMMAND value1 value2 ...
Specify
STEM or
COMPOUND for
COMMAND>.
Using the STEM command
Each line beginning with
STEM includes a term that represents the uninflected
stem (or, lemma) of a word, and one or more attributes that identify the
part(s) of speech (POS) of the word. The POS attributes must be separated from
each other by commas (with no spaces). The command name STEM and the new term
must be separated from each other and from the POS attbributes by tabs.
STEM new_term1 POS,POS,POS,... STEM new_term2 POS,POS,POS,... STEM new_term3 POS,POS,POS,...
The POS attributes enable Guided Search to identify the possible inflectional endings of the new term in its given language.
You can specify the part of speech (POS) attributes by their full names or by abbreviations of their names (listed here in parentheses):
