Stemming extends a search to cover grammatical variations on a word. For example, a search for fish would also find fishing. A search for applied would also find applying, applies, and apply. There are two ways to add stemming to your searches:
- Check the Stemming box in the search form to enable stemming for all of the words in your search request.
- If you want to add stemming selectively, add a ~ at the end of words that you want stemmed in a search. Example: apply~
