Perform word stemming on Transcript Viewer searches

Description

Web search engines, such as Google, perform word stemming on input words in order to catch fuzzy matches. For example, searching for “file drawer” would also match “filing cabilet” or “files drawer” (since “filing” and “files” both stem from “file”).

The search field in the Transcript Viewer should provide the same assistance.

Change History

I don't know whether either of the Metadata APIs provides this, nor how feasible it would be to do this ourselves. If they don't and it isn't, we should file a request with Apple for a future version of Mac OS X to provide it.
