Look into additional stemming in Solr, especially for names #1407

Searching for a name doesn't match alternate forms ('steve' vs. 'steven', 'tom' vs. 'thomas'). This can be partially done using fuzzy search ('steve~) but needs to be known by the searcher, and may not work in all cases.

Look into additional name stemming that would expand the index.

Do we need to revisit what we want to do with searching maybe?
