You need to use a wildcard, designated by an asterisk.

For search returns that include "fellow" and "fellows", try fellow*
For search returns that include "fellows" and "fellowship", try
fellows*

I think to use the wildcard you need to install an extension for it. I
also believe I read something about a search issue with version 1.11
that got fixed in 1.12. You might want to check that out.
