Yes, I read that blog. However, I have enabled search stemming in the
results web part. I have also developed my own search code using the
FullTextSqlQuery object and set the EnableStemming property to True -
but with the same results.

JC,

Stemming is turned off by default on SharePoint 07.

Mike Tazhizadeh from the SharePoint Team has a great blog that
discusses stemming in detail.

I have a MOSS2007 RTM deployment set up and I'm working with thesearchfeatures. One thing I have set up issearchstemming on the
results web part. However, when I do searches for things like
"complaint" and "complaints" I see different results. My
understanding of stemming is that it would break both words down to
the same core word, and I would therefore see the same results. Is
something not working right, or am I misunderstanding how stemming
works?

Also, I tried setting up synonym words under "keywords" and basically
registering "complaint" and "complaints" as synonymous. Again, I
would have expected this to produce the same set of results for both
words, but it did not have a visible effect.

Thanks,
