sphinxsearchHow can I use Sphinx Search to generate word forms?

Sphinx Search can be used to generate word forms using its Morphology feature. Morphology allows users to create and configure a stemmer that can be used to generate word forms.

Here is an example code block that uses the English stemmer to generate the word forms of the word "running":

#include <sphinxbase/err.h>
#include <sphinxbase/strfuncs.h>
#include <sphinxbase/strfuncs.h>
#include <sphinxbase/strfuncs.h>
#include <sphinxbase/morph.h>

int main() {
    char *stem;
    char *word = "running";
    char *lang = "en";
    stem = morph_stem_str(word, lang);
    printf("Stem of %s is %s\n", word, stem);
    free(stem);
}

The output of this code block will be:

Stem of running is run

The code block is composed of the following parts:

1. #include directives: These are used to include the necessary SphinxSearch library functions.
2. main() function: This is the main function of the program.
3. char *stem: This is a pointer to the stem of the word.
4. char *word: This is a pointer to the word that needs to be stemmed.
5. char *lang: This is a pointer to the language of the word.
6. stem = morph_stem_str(word, lang): This is the function call to the morph_stem_str() function which takes the word and language as parameters and returns the stem of the word.
7. printf(): This is used to print the stem of the word.
8. free(stem): This is used to free the memory allocated for the stem.
