# Stemming

Set `Stemming` to `False` to disable stemming for this language.

If you set GenericStemming to `True`, the `Stemming` parameter determines whether to use the stemming rules for this language in the generic stemming rules. In this case, set `Stemming` to `False` to not use the language stemming rules.

NOTE: If you configure a custom stemming library (see CustomStemming), IDOL Server always attempts to use the custom library for stemming. In this case, if you set `Stemming` to `False`, IDOL Server does not fall back on the default stemming rules if the custom library cannot stem a particular term.

NOTE: Setting this parameter to `False` does not disable a stemming file that you have configured with the parameter StemmingFile.

NOTE: If you change this setting after you have indexed content into IDOL Server, the new setting applies only to new content, and the server logs a warning. To clear the warning and ensure that your change applies to all your content, you must initialize your index and reindex the content.
