Hi Brian I'm not sure about the wordforms approach, but stemming in Sphinx happens the other way around - ie: a search for 'car' returns documents with 'cars' in them. I guess one way around this is to use the stemmer gem and break down your search queries into their core stems, use that for the search instead. I've no idea how reliable that would be, though.
That said, if there's very specific situations where you need this to happen, then maybe wordforms would be better. Did you want to run us through your setup for that?
