I tried that, and it seems like "recharging" and "rechargeable", for example, actually do stem to the same root (recharg). So why is it not working when I'm searching on my indexed sampledocs? The stemming works when I search for "videos" and it's actually "video" in the document, etc., but not for rechargeable-recharging or capability-capable, etc., even though they stem to the same root when i check them on the Admin/analysis page. What am I overlooking?
