On top of whats already been mentioned in other answers and assuming you are speaking from an SEO point of view, I'd recommend doing some research on LSI (Latent Semantic indexing) which should be put under the same roof as Stemming.

It is the process of reducing each word to its stem. E.g. "searched", "searches", "searching" all become just the root word (or stem) "search" in a search index.

In terms of websites, this is frequently used for search functionality. I.e. enabling any form of the search term to find all variations of the supplied keyword. It can significantly improve the search experience.
