Inflectional and/or not returning the correct results

When doing the following search (SearchAllProducts, keyword, 'FORMSOF (INFLECTIONAL, pens) and FORMSOF (INFLECTIONAL, pads)'), we get 170 records returned. But if we switch the and and replace it with an OR we get 1294 records returned. Whats the part w
e don't understand is that the OR is not pulling back any of the 170 records where both words are in the keyword field. Even though we do a pens search and we get 748 records and for pads we get 716 records. We would expect to get back 1464 records. I
s this a bug or we not doing something right? We are using Enterprise Edition running SP3a on Windows 2000 running SP4.
Any ideas?
Kris
Kris,
Could you post some of the actual data in the FT-enable column(s) from your
FT-enabled table(s) along with the actual FTS query and table structure?
Also, do you have multiple FT-enabled tables in one FT Catalogs or do you
use one FT Catalog for each FT-enabled table?
Thanks,
John
