Ok, and I see that after checking, and to my surprise, neither Apple Search
Kit nor MSN Search seem to use stemming, so I guess that we either need an
interface to let the user set this kind of preference, or let the
backend use its own default.
I would prefer this to be back-end specific. For stemming to be useful, you need
to know what the language of the query is. Another can of worms...
