Happy Friday the 13th,* everyone!
I realized that I've gotten more lax about defining terms in my write ups
over time, because I am always talking about types (pre- and post-analysis)
and tokens and monolithic and unpacked analyzers, etc, etc. So, I
reorganized the Search Glossary a bit into topical sections, and added a
big section on Language Analysis, which I will point to in my write ups.
Please review the new section it if you have time and interest. If you know
this stuff, please correct any errors. If you don't know this stuff, please
ask questions about anything that's unclear so I can improve it. Thanks!
The new section of the glossary is under "Language Analysis
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Discovery/Search/Glossary#Language_Analysis>
".
Cheers,
—Trey
