Search does not return all results. #75

I was on the marketplace looking for a cookie tracker control plugin for Umbraco 13. I searched for "cookie" and got 8 results plus two technical partners. One of the technical partners was "Cookiebot CMP Dashboard" but there was no normal result for it. So I updated my search to "cookies" This gives me a completely different result with 3 marketplace results and the same Technical partners. The new set now includes "Cookiebot", which was not in the search results of "cookie". So it seems like there is something broken with the search function on marketplace.

I think it's explained just as the "CookieBot" entry includes the word "cookies" in it's read me content, but not "cookie". But maybe we can find a way to get the underlying search service to return results for plural or singular results.

To me this points to two problems.

The first is that searching for "cookie" does not bring up "cookieBot" even though "cookie" is in the word so unless I type exactly the word I will miss-results. To me this is counter to how search should work, so anything containing the word "cookie" should be a result when search for it be it "cookies" or "CookieBot".

The second is the pluralization or words, and this can be argued either way, if I search for "cookies" it should know to include "cookie". Not even sure how that would be done but I have seen it done on other search systems before and it was nice but I have also seen sites not deal with it and it never bothered me.
