I created an index for an attachment using elasticsearch2.3.3 and Nest [2.3.2.My](http://2.3.2.My) indexing is given below. I am searching for singular words with plurals in the document.Read that snowball stemmer will do this type of conversion. But no records were returned on [search.Is](http://search.Is) there any extra plugin/words collection need to be added to the application to make it work. Can anyone help.
