Marklogic: stemming doesn't return satisfying results

The stemming result for the following cts:stem('motivation', 'en') is motivation. I'm expecting the result to be motivate. how to solve this?

Your workaround here is to add terms to a custom dictionary (see http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/search-dev/custom-dictionaries) to give the stems you want.

According to http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/search-dev/stemming:

The stemming supported in MarkLogic Server does not cross different parts of speech. For example, conserve (verb) and conservation (noun) are not considered to have the same stem because they have different parts of speech. Consequently, if you search for conserve with stemmed searches enabled, the results will include documents containing conserve and conserves, but not documents with conservation (unless conserve or conserves also appears).

In your case: motivation is a noun, motivate is a verb.
