Porter stem token filter

Provides algorithmic stemming for the English language, based on the Porter stemming algorithm.

This filter tends to stem more aggressively than other English stemmer filters, such as the kstem filter.

The porter_stem filter is equivalent to the stemmer filter’s english variant.

The porter_stem filter uses Lucene’s PorterStemFilter.
