Abstract :
Building an effective stemmer for Arabic language has been always a hot research topic in the IR field since Arabic language has a very different and difficult structure than other languages, that’s because it is a very rich language with complex morphology. Many linguistic and light stemmers have been developed for Arabic language but still there are many weakness and problems, in this paper we introduce a new light stemming technique and compare it with other used stemmers and show how it improves the search effectiveness
