Search using an acronym as a prefix and other inconsistencies in searches

Okay so it works but why isn’t it a user accessible feature? At least on the “advanced” search page where users could enable or disable stemming — making non-stemming the default would be less confusing — at their choice rather than having to remember arcane syntax. And " publication " produces different results from “publication” — includes publications — but maybe we are supposed to be satisfied that stemming to public doesn’t happen then.
