--- Comment #7 from Nik Everett <[email protected]> ---
Right, this only effects English.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for a small set of use cases) there aren't as
many different options for languages other than English.  I believe we have
five options, in order of how much they increase recall and decrease precision:
1.  No stemming
2.  Minimal (just possessives)
3.  KStem
4.  Porter Stemmer
5.  Porter Stemmer via Snowball

A few other languages have "minimal" (or "light") stemmers in addition to their
more aggressive versions.  In all cases other than English at this point we use
the Elasticsearch default which is the more aggressive version.

Switching from the Elasticsearch default to a customized version isn't hard and
we're totally willing to do it.
