Fuzzy Matches and Stemming

Vote:
 

Hi!

I use Find v13.0.1 and Find.Commerce v10.2.0

Let's say I want to search though Variations:

var variationSearchResult = Search().For(searchQuery)
.InField(variation => variation.DisplayName)
.AndInField(variation => variation.Description.AsViewedByAnonymous())

I want to have the exact matches for the DisplayName on the top. Afterwards I want to have the exact matches for the Description. And in the end there should be some results with not exact matches for Display name - so it is ok to have there misprints, stemming, etc.

So basically I thought that something like this can solve this problem:

 .BoostMatching(variation => variation.DisplayName.Match(searchQuery), 13)
 .BoostMatching(variation => variation.DisplayName.MatchFuzzy(searchQuery), 0.1)

But I don't like the results I am getting. For example, some stemming items may appear quite high in the list. The worst thing here is that stemming can work quite badly for Dutch language suggesting completely different words...

Stemming in Dutch returns so many false positives, I've turned it off in one project, by using  .UnifiedSearch(Language.None).
