Honestly? I expect "dog" and nothing else. Not dogs. Not dogged. Just dog.

  Agreed ! "dog" --> exact match +dog --> stemming allowed: i.e "doghouse, doggies, dogs" That would be nice to have

    Agreed, it could work that way (but doesn't). As a computational linguist who has worked a lot in morphology, I support this :).

    That's how it works. That's how it has worked for years, except you don't need the + symbol -- that tells us nothing. ["dog"] or anything in quotes means exact match, and that's what we do. [dog] or anything without an operator means we'll generally try to exact match but also might do stemming or synonym or other matching, if it seems helpful.
