Stems and Index Keywords and the Search Algorithm

[tomjohnson1492]

I'm using the index keywords to basically stuff metakeywords into my topics to influence Flare's search. I've read that exact matches have the most weight when it comes to search results.

If I have a topic that is called "Create New Teams," should I add as many variations to the word create and team as possible in the index keywords, such as creating teams, create teams, create new team, create team. Or will Flare's search algorithm treat all of these words as stems and make it so that create/creating/creates/created are ranked equally, as well as team/teams? It's important to know this if exact matches are what determines the top search results.
