Improving Search Results Singular/Plural Terms and Synonyms

Hi Guys,

On behalf of our client, we’d like to improve the search functionality in our environment. This involves two things:

Improving search results for singular/plural terms

We’re noticing a significant difference in results between singular and plural terms.

For example, on the Dutch website:
- Searching for “schuurschijf” (singular) gives only 5 results.
- Searching for “schuurschijven” (plural) gives almost double the results.
How or where can we adjust this? I can’t find any clear explanation in the documentation.

Our goal is to ensure that both singular and plural terms return more consistent and complete results.
Implementing synonyms

I saw that there’s a tutorial explaining how to configure this with the index, but I’m wondering - how do we decide which analyzer to use for each language, since we have multiple languages on the site? Or am I misunderstanding how this works?

Hopefully, someone can provide a clear answer or point us in the right direction.

Kind regards,
Ferri
