You just need to call:

    qp.set_stemming_strategy(Xapian::QueryParser::STEM_ALL);

It seems you're using Omega - you can't currently set this there without
tweaking the code, which is a bit of an oversight (you can set STEM_NONE or
STEM_SOME).  I'll fix that, but meanwhile see Omega's query.cc, near the top of
the function set_probabilistic().

I'm not sure why "MAGIC" isn't highlighting - it's supposed to, but it
looks like something is amiss.  I'll investigate.

Cheers,
    Olly
