Plural Search

Can anyone enlighten me on how to include plural searches with a
fulltext mysql database search?

For example, if someone searches 'restaurant' I want it to search the
database for 'restaurant' and 'restaurants'

I posted this from work but I don't think it got through so apologies if this is duplicated. I'm trying to avoid the old chestnut where you go something like: Span = lngDays & " day(s)" so that an s gets appended only if it's more than 1, I came up with this: Span = lngDays & " day" & String(Abs(Sgn(lngDays - 1)), "s")

Just wondering if anyone out there has any code to convert a plural word to it's singular form and vice versa. Most of our database tables are named in a plural fashion. When we go to create templates to select a single record, we end up with a class name that sounds as if it's a collection instead of just one data object. Just wondering if anyone has a nice workaround. I started working on something, but it quickly turned into a large...

In my current work I noticed that I have several circumstances where I need to create little if/else constructs to handle the phrasing of a message.

I soon realized that I could write a few related methods...

This might seem like a trivial thing, but has anyone has come up with a better way of outputting a singular vs. plural string? For example: // default plural label $string = "appointments"; // singular label if (mysql_num_rows($results) == 1) $string = "appointment"; print mysql_num_rows($results) . $string;

Hi, I've actually been working on a homework assignment which asks me to turn words into their plural forms. The first task is to check if the words are more than 3 characters and end in "us". If it does I just take out the us and add an "i" at the end. Otherwise I just throw an "s" to the end of the word. I think I got most of the program down, but for some reason it gives me an error with &&. Could someone take a look at my code and tell...

Hi all, I need something stronger than LIKE or CONTAINS, but not so comprehensive as the FORMSOF(Field, INFLECTIONAL). I am looking to see which words from one list also exist in another. However, this is related to reading comprehension. Therefore I need to see "dog" and "dogs" as a match. However, I don't want to see "run" and "ran" as a match.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
