Searching for "unit" comes up with no results.

Expected behaviour

All posts with the word "unit" in them.

Actual results:

No results whatsoever.

Steps

https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/search/unit is one such example in the Zulip Zulip. In general, just use the top searchbar to search for "unit".

This is on the webapp, but seems platform-agnostic; production Zulip instances, as far as I know

Hello @zulip/server-dependencies, @zulip/server-search members, this issue was labeled with the "area: dependencies", "area: search" labels, so you may want to check it out!

This originates in a word list used to generate what is eventually the hunspell-en-us Ubuntu package (thanks @alexmv for that pointer), and as such I've opened en-wl/wordlist#359. I'm unsure what the maintenance status of that repository is, there seem to have been no public commits since mid-2021, though there was some light activity in a few issues conversations in 2022. There's some further discussion on CZO about potentially investigating using Snowball for stemming (the default engine in PostgreSQL) instead of Hunspell, but for now, no conclusive plans on a workaround Zulip-side.
