I asked at Etsy colleague how he normalizes data (in the database sense). Here was his response:

"I believe what I did was to lowercase, remove duplicate spaces, stem and get rid of stop words. all of these concepts are general"

Awesome! Thanks Hilary!
I know Duncan TL (He's also on our board). Will bring this up in my next
conversation with him.

Cheers!
