'drone', 'drones'

'vehicle', 'vehicles'

are counted as separate terms. Joining them would make more sense to me.




It's almost like they'd never heard of a Porter Stemmer.


A porter stemmer has disadvantages too as it would combine 'training' and 'trains' (freight).


Maybe you just need something that trains your porter stemmer to avoid such mistakes.

Because of this ambiguity, they could easily configure the stemmer to only de-pluralize instead.


That was an odd oversight and would put drones at #3.
