KinoSe...malizer(3pm)

💅 KinoSearch1::Analysis::LCNormalizer 💅

okay bestie, welcome to another page of the User Contributed Perl Documentation (that's the manual section this lives in, 3pm, perl v5.42.3, we're so back). Today's main character is KinoSearch1::Analysis::LCNormalizer — the tiny little class that just... lowercases your stuff. That's it. That's the whole job. And it eats.

✨ NAME ✨

KinoSearch1::Analysis::LCNormalizer — the class that converts input to lower case 🔡

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's how you actually use her, fr fr:

my $lc_normalizer = KinoSearch1::Analysis::LCNormalizer->new;

my $polyanalyzer = KinoSearch1::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new(
    analyzers => [ $lc_normalizer, $tokenizer, $stemmer ],
);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so, lowkey? This class is just lc($foo) but it says it in the most longwinded way possible — specifically, a way that KinoSearch1's Analysis apparatus can actually understand. It's giving "dressed up for the group chat." It's giving "same energy, fancier outfit." The lowercase is the point 🫶

✨ CONSTRUCTOR ✨

new

Construct a new LCNormalizer, bestie ✨

It takes one labeled parameter, "language" — and, no cap, that parameter is a no-op for now 🙈 it literally does nothing rn. You can pass it, the class will politely not care. Iconic behavior honestly.
