What is the difference between the Indexing Languages

Question

Hi!

We're stumbled upon the Indexing language option on our Jira cloud settings and we're curious on the difference of these options:

English - Aggressive Stemming

English - Minimal Stemming

Can someone explain what are the differences on these options. We remain on choosing English, but what type of "stemming"?

Thanks!

There isn't much in the documentation- configure-the-indexing-language that really explains this. There is a good bit on language stemming on the WWW so might be worth reviewing over/under stemming algorithms.
