Full text matching and quotes

I have data in my full text column such as "men's shoes". When a user does a
search such as "mens shoes" it does not return a match, because the user data
does not contain the quote. If they search on "men's shoes" then it works
properly.
Anybody run into this and have ideas about how to deal with this situation?
Granted it's basically a user error, but I wanted to see if anyone has ideas?
Thanks
Can you do a FreeText query?

|||I give the user the option to do an 'AND' or an 'OR' with search terms. My
understanding of FreeText is that it is always an 'AND' and I don't have the
option for 'OR'. Is that correct?

|||FreeText is an OR. Contains will be a strict phrase based search unless you
make it Boolean.
