Description

When I use MARKFAST on the document

"Donau-dampf-schiff"

with the MARKFAST-list

"Donau-dampf-schiff
Donau
Donau-dampf
dampf-schiff
dampf
schiff"

I get three annotations, namely "Donau-dampf-schiff", "dampf-schiff" and "schiff". This is kind of a strange result. It seems the result stems from iterating over alle token anchors of the document and checking the list for possible matches and only annotating each anchor only once.
I would like the operator to annotate each token only once and not each anchor.
Greetings
