    <p>Lucene is very much the tool to do
    this. If you want apple and apples
    (plural) to match, you just need to be
    careful about using the correct
    language stemmer when indexing and
    querying the index.</p>

  <p>I'm new to lucene and barely understand how adding and saving document work.</p>
  
  <p>How do I search my tag field so apples and apple are the same?</p>
  
  <p>I am using <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/lucene.net/tags/Lucene.Net_2_9_1/src/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">lucene.net 2.9.1</a></p>
