Does anyone know how I can handle plurals in lucene. If I search

Yes, it can easily be done by using an analyzer that stems, such as
the SnowballAnalyzer. The SnowballAnalyzer is found currently in
Lucene's subversion repository under contrib/snowball. Build this
yourself if you are using Lucene from trunk. If you're using Lucene
1.4.3, your best option is to grab the snowball-1.1-dev.jar from the
"Lucene in Action" codebase - http://www.lucenebook.com - and feel
free to look at the examples in the src directory there.
