This is what most people mean by "stemming," though the example you
give probably goes further than most people would want to do. Usual
examples are things like "run," "running," "runner," etc.
This is one reason ht://Dig doesn't do stemming--people have their
own definitions of how it should be done. So "fuzzy matching" can be
done at search time with the whole word database.
