Configure SOLR to find documents if the plural is used in the document, and the singular in the search text?

Question

I am using solr, set up at localhost:8983 I am basically using the out of the box example. I have entered one document with a name \"Car\", and another with a name \"Cars\".

Answer 1

It is possible, just add porter filter at the end (after LowerCaseFilterFactory):

<filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="English" />

If there is no special need, I would not divide analyser to index and query time. Your query time analyser looks perfectly good to use it in both cases.

Answer 2

I found that changing from text_general to text_en in the shema.xml fields took care of this plurality problem
