Word Stemming
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 Word Stemming box in the search form to enable stemming for
all of the words in your search request. Stemming does not slow searches
noticeably and is almost always helpful in making sure you find what you
want.
- If you want to add stemming selectively, add a ~ at the end of words
that you want stemmed in a search. Example: apply~
