How Yandex and Google treat requests in the plural and singular?

Question

Google

Nobody answered me here . I hope they will help on the toaster)
In the wordstat there is such a stat:
"! table for a laptop" - 1443
"! tables for a laptop" - 387
And so it pops up for various requests, the differences are large (and even for HF). I took the first option into the structure of the site (online store). But, since I’m making a site for people (well, + a bit of SEO), then a dilemma arises, how best to create a structure. At the moment, the category is called "laptop table", it has a lot of products that also begin with "corner gray laptop table KS-01". I plan to relink these products with a category. In general, the question is: am I doing the right thing or is it still more logical (from the user's point of view) to do, that is, "Desks for a laptop" --> "desk for a laptop gray corner KS-01"? And how do PS deal with such things. Please respond constructively. Thank you very much in advance!

When a user enters a query into a search engine, this query is analyzed (by the search engine). If you do not go into the subtleties of mathematics, then words can be subjected to stemming / lemmatization. This means that word endings (suffixes, plural->singular) can be truncated. Some search engines do it better, some worse. For example, Yandex focuses more on the Russian segment and takes into account the endings for a more accurate ranking of the results (but it will still take into account the basic word form). So according to the good of your example, the search engine should take into account 1443 + 387 (if each of the examples is a 1 in 1 static match of the phrase, taking into account the ending). Trying to manually optimize endings,
Search engines also use word endings to identify dependencies between words in a query. This is a question of data analysis (from the field of Natural Language Processing), but this, as I understand it, is not the essence of your question.
If I were you, I would write on the site what is most readable and understandable for the user.
