Hi Philipp,

Thanks for the question.
Inkdrop uses SQLite FTS5 with the porter tokenizer, which can remove the commoner morphological and inflexional endings from words in English.
That would work unexpectedly in such cases.

Thanks for the fast answer, and sorry for not searching good enough in the existing tickets.
