  • QUOTE: … The problem is that the most common search engines are “keyword based,” which means all search queries and retrievals will operate under the keyword rules of stemming. …

    … Keyword searches have a tough time distinguishing between words that are spelled the same way but mean something different (i.e. hard cider, a hard stone, a hard exam, and the hard drive on your computer). This often results in hits that are completely irrelevant to your query.
