Search words

If I do a search for "install" it returns all the links for pages that have "install" as part of the text. This is great. There are other search utilities that will also return pages with "installation" as part of the text. I played around with the settings, but was not able to have it return "installation". Is this possible?

Using * on the end of the search term or setting "word forms" to "most" should do it.

I looked at the settings, but did not see "most" as a selection for word forms. I looked on the search settings page, is that the correct place?

Sorry, on the search settings page and the advanced options search form it's called "Any word forms".

I tried that and it didn't help.

Looks like "install" "installation" is one of those odd wordforms that doesn't follow rules and doesn't strip down to the same root.
