Capital words should Not be stemmed
See original GitHub issueRan into this one today,
Using the default pipeline, and thus the stemmer.
The stemmer chops off -er
Which is often appropriate, but not in Proper nouns. It would not be possible to maintain a complete list of proper nouns, but Capitalization is a good sign. Thoughts?
Last names ending in -er are escaping indexing.

As a workaround you can add a pipeline function to manually trim the apostrophe s from tokens, example fiddle.
This is actually the same issue as described in #192. I encourage you to take a look through that issue and some of the discussion. It looks like I also specifically put together a small plugin for working around more of these contractions.
I’m going to close this issue in favour of #192. @erichiller Please re-open if your issue wasn’t related to the use of apostrophes.
