Description
Searching in Element for "counter" does not find messages containing "counters". I'd expect the index to stemming to make this work. For example, searching in Slack for "process" will give results that contain "processes" or "processing"

Research direction
Start by locating the Rust message indexing and search entry points responsible for Element queries, then reproduce the difference between "counter" and "counters" described in the issue. Compare the expected stemming behavior with the Slack examples and verify that searches return messages containing inflected forms. No specific files or tests are named, and the issue has had no recent activity.
