 Hi @gibrown,

 Could you provide some details on the stemming algorithm currently in use
 and I might be able to provide some suggestions how to make it slightly
 more aggressive? I think there is a case of understemming in English and
 I'd like to see a slightly more aggressive stemming but not to cause
 overstemming.

 Every language different - what works in English will likely not work in
 Bulgarian - I'd optimize per language.

 You mentioned that there is no A/B testing infrastructure. In the search
 data that you have - is there a link between a search term and the plugins
 that were installed after the search?
