I have seen this behavior quite often before indeed. I understand why it
does not give a hit because of stemming, but in the end, it seems a
little wrong to me. 'stemm*' should match 'stemmed' basically.
Obviously, using an analyzer without stemming solves the problem, but
then again you do not have stemming
