Hi!
We're looking for a stemmer that can convert all plurals to proper singular forms, and Hunspell looked like a suitable candidate. But unfortunately it didn't recognize a lot of irregular plurals, like "women", "people", "matrices", "children", "wives" etc. We used an en\_US dictionary from an OpenOffice archive (as ES guides suggest).
Can somebody confirm that Hunspell doesn't support irregular plurals, or maybe we had a wrong configuration?
Could you recommend any other way to solve this problem with Elasticsearch?

The solution is to use this plugin – [https://github.com/imotov/elasticsearch-analysis-morphology](https://github.com/imotov/elasticsearch-analysis-morphology) It perfectly recognizes all irregular plurals.
