Is  it possible to make the search function fuzzy, At the moment if I search for a phrase then I will only get the results that exactly match that phase but I would like to return all results that are a sub set of the phase. eg If I search for "contact", then I would like to return any page with contact, contacts, contactlist, etc.

The DNN Search is pretty limiting right now, but it is written in a provider model so you could extend it and plug in a new search provider. You can also look at other search options such as the search modules from Venexus www.venexus.com they allow for SQL Full Text indexing/search, which I find to be better than the standard DNN search.

This bothered me so much I typically tweak the relevant stored procedure to allow substring searches.  It just so happens that I blogged about this tweak a ew weeks ago... 
 
   TIP:  Enable substring searches for DNN search

If you enjoy that one you may also have an interest in my short series on swapping Google AJAX Search in place of DNN search:
