Hi Aad Use the stemmed result as what you index, but then also remember to stem the query terms as well - you need to do the same on the way out as on the way in.
We don't use MySpell but we do use our own stemmer in this way, as there are many examples where Snowball falls down like: caught -> caught instead of catch buses -> buse instead of bus and Snowball gets worse for none-English languages like Dutch....
