Searching for the plural is returning different results

[tpendragon]

Summary

Solr's filters should be condensing "farmer" and "farmers" to provide the same results, but it's not. See https://dpul.princeton.edu/sae/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&exhibit_id=sae&search_field=all_fields&q=farmer vs https://dpul.princeton.edu/sae/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&exhibit_id=sae&search_field=all_fields&q=farmers.

Maybe some sort of solr config or indexing bug?

Impact

Users should be able to find items with close searches, and certainly plurals vs singular.

Priority recommendation

• asap
• within the next 3 weeks
• PO will prioritize

Expected behaviour

Search results for "farmer" and "farmers" are similar if not exactly the same.

Actual behaviour

Largely different result sets.

I'm assigning this to @kelea99 to prioritize, mostly as an attempt to get it on her radar for when she's back.
