The Porter stemmer algorithm, by definition, does more then just stip 
plurals.

If you are interested in a lighter weight stemmer for english, this is 
exactly what the EnglishMinimalStemFilterFactory is for...

Although you may also be interested in combining it with the 
EnglishPossessiveFilterFactory...
