Hi,
your problem is pretty much analyzers and tokenization related, so you
really should understand what happens there.
Tried the Ferret short cut pdf book from o'reilly?
In general you'll need a stemming analyzer to strip plural endings from
words. Regarding the "'" - it's a question of the tokenizer you're using
whether the 's ending is considered to be part of the word it follows,
or 's' is interpreted as a term of it's own.
Cheers,
Jens
