Smart Search - Pluralisation

Jay Crowe asked on September 18, 2019 16:01

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to set up a Smart Search which catered for pluralisation?

So for example if i searched for globes it would return search results for globe.

Any help would be appreciated. The documentation available doesnt seem to suggest this is possible

Regards, Jay

You need to pick the right analyzer type. I would try to the last one in the list i.e. Simple / Stop words / White space with stemming or Starts with. But stemming my produce some additional effects that you might not need. Anyway this more trial and error - try those and see which one gives a more satisfactory result.

I have played around with the different Analyzer Types but with no success. It will work if I search for globe for example it would return globes. But if I search for globes it does not return globe.

Thank you Peter. That is definitely the way to go so I will stick with simple with stemming and work out why it is still not working.

Thank you for your time.
