Hello all,

I want to use the percolator to find matches in Hebrew texts.  
I've set up a simple test which works for English terms and text but  
doesn't work on Hebrew text: [https://gist.github.com/1509532](https://gist.github.com/1509532)

Is this possible without a Hebrew analyser and tokeniser? I know it's  
possible in Lucene (without stemming and inflecting of course, but I  
can do without for now)

How can I get this working?

Thanks in advance,  
Simon
