Hi,

We noticed that the word 'paste' stems to 'past' and that it creates very undesirable results when searching for 'paste' since all the results with 'past' also come up. Can you comment on whether or not the word 'paste' can be made a special case, or if there is some solid reasoning to explain the behavior?

Thanks,
Sonny
