Include singular search results when search for pl

Question

I'm working with Solr 4.1, and got it working correctly. I have the terms in the document which contains "school". It gives search result correctly when searching for "school". However, I want Solr to include these results when searching for "schools".

So basically I want Solr to include singular terms in its search results when searching for plural terms.

Any idea how to do it?

You need to apply stemming to your indexed fields in order to achieve this behavior. Please see the Stemming Wiki Page for a complete explanation and an example fieldType to support stemming.
