Hi,
I want to configure elastic for plurals so that searching for "blog" and
"blogs" return same results.
I found on internet that the way to go is to use Snowball analyzer. When I
use Snowball I get same results for both "blog" and "blogs". But, the
results which used to come for "blogs" without the snowball analyzer in
query do not come at all now.
Can someone please help?
