Hi Jose

I have been testing the Norwegian stemmer a bit more, but it does not seem to work right in every case. 

Is there some kind of limit for the length of words? 
In my swish-e config file I have set: MaxWordLimit 40. I also downloaded the 2003-07-01 version

If you look at the examples below the stemmer should have removed the suffix en. 

In example 3 the stemming works right. Number of hits are 461 in both 3 and 4.  That is not the case in example 1.
The Norwegian Snowball page shows the right stemming for the word "konsumprisindeksen".

Forgot to mention...

I have removed in the cvs the annoying messages you 
have noticed. Once again, it was my fault. They were
a couple of debug messages. You can delete them
in index.c or update from cvs.
