    We test the utility of European language stemmers created using the Snowball language [1]. This allows us to experiment with PLIERS in languages other than English. We also report on some BM25 tuning constant experiments conducted in order to find the best settings for our searches

    Abstract: The use of the PLIERS text retrieval system in TREC8 experiments is described. The tracks entered for are: Ad-Hoc, Filtering (Batch and Routing) and the Web Track (Large only). We describe both retrieval efficiency and effectiveness results for all these tracks. We also describe some preliminary experiments with BM_25 tuning constant variation. 1
