Search engine news, on Web searching and search engine optimization: "it is not always obvious when this occurs. 'The stemming does not seem to occur on single word searches or on phrase searches,' he says.
This means that you can use quotation marks to override the automatic stemming. You may also put a plus sign in front of words you would like Google to leave untouched, like this: car +park "

Google Help: "Word Variations (Stemming)
Google now uses stemming technology. Thus, when appropriate, it will search not only for your search terms, but also for words that are similar to some or all of those terms. If you search for 'pet lemur dietary needs', Google will also search for 'pet lemur diet needs', and other related variations of your terms. Any variants of your terms that were searched for will be highlighted in the snippet of text accompanying each result"
Search Engine Showdown News: Google Starts Auto Stemming Searches
D Sullivan: What Happened To My Searches On Google?: "Yes, and this addition of stemming is the most significant change searchers should be aware of. When you now search on Google, it will automatically look up variations of words. So a search for travel tips behind the scenes is looking for pages that have all of these words, and perhaps others, on them:
travel
travelers
traveling
tips
tip
Stemming can be overridden. When you enter any search command, in front of a word, stemming is shut off for that word. So:
travel +tips
Would only enable stemming on the word travel while
+travel +tip
Would disable stemming on both terms."
