      Words in Dutch that end with "sen" are correctly stemmed to the same word without "en". So "dansen" becomes "dans". However, if you then search for "dans", this will incorrectly be stemmed to "dan", and the full text search returns no matches.

      A possible solution would be to recursively stem words during the indexing and search phase, so that both "dansen" and "dans" would stem to "dan".
