Text preprocessing

Text values are preprocessed as follows when indexed:

• Text is split into terms at space(s) and/or punctuation character(s).
• Terms are converted to lowercase and "stemmed", for example "cars" -> "car", "going" -> "go".
• Accented characters (ó, ò, ñ) are converted to the closest english equivalent.

For example, a status message such as "Toys.R.Us having Über SUCCESS!" is split into the following terms: toy, r, us, have, uber, success.
