Module update: Porter Stemmer version 6.x-2.0 for Drupal

A few weeks ago, I became the co-maintainer of the Porter Stemmer module for Drupal, which adds American English stemming to Drupal's core search functionality. (Stemming is the process of reducing words to their stems for better searching, so that for instance walk, walking, walks, and walked will all be equivalent in a search.)

Today I released a new version (6.x-2.0) of Porter Stemmer, which updates the module to use Version 2 of Porter's stemming algorithm (the version Porter currently recommends using for production applications). I also was able to completely test the stemming functionality of the module using the SimpleTest framework, and verify that every word in Porter's word list is stemmed correctly by the module.
