[Mediawiki-l] Making search "and" by default

In practical use, Google handles plurals effectively.  I can't think of
the last time I searched for a topic on Google, failed to find it, and
then found it using the plural.  But on our wiki, this is such a regular
occurrence that we have to create redirects for plurals.
