Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to do this in Sphinx (though if
you'd like to double-check, I'd recommend posting to the Sphinx forum).

An alternative could be to parse the query string into separate words, and use
ActiveSupport's singularize method. Of course, this isn't super-reliable, but
might be worth a shot.
