I have a question which closely relates to [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6215389/solr-one-word-phrase-search-to-avoid-stemming).

In my schema I have a field

```
<field name="text" type="textgen" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"/>

```

This gives an exact match, ie. stemming disabled

> 
> eat = eat 
> 
> 
> 

Is it possible, while configured to textgen to search for other variants of the word

> 
> eg. eat = eat, eats, eating 
> 
> 
> 

eat~0 will give similar sounding words such as meat, beat etc. but this is not what I want.

I'm starting to think that the only way to achieve this is to add another field with something other then textgen but if there is a simpler way I am very interested to hear it.
