You have the
Enable Search Term Stemming option enabled
for the search results Web part, and you are using a custom thesaurus on a Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 site or a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site. In this
case, search results that match items in the expansion set are not returned.
For example, if you search for "Cars," documents are returned that have "Cars" in them. However, documents that have "Car" in
them are not returned.
To resolve this issue, install one of the following hotfix
packages, depending on the software that you are using:
- SharePoint Server 2007

Description of the SharePoint
Server 2007 post-2007 Microsoft Office servers Service Pack 1 hotfix package:
June 5, 2008
- Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

)
Description of the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 hotfix package: June 5, 2008
Limitation
This fix has a limitation. The thesaurus expansion is performed
before the stemming function. This means that if you search for "Cars," documents are returned that
have "Cars" or "Car" in them, but documents that have "bus"
or other thesaurus equivalents to "Car" are not returned.
Microsoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
in the "Applies to" section.
