If I write men or women in the search bar, no items are returned in the search result. However, if I write male or female, then the search returns the items correctly. Is there any way to make Magento return those items for those search words?

    are the words "men" and "women" actually in any of your products descriptions etc. Have you tried re-indexing? You can also manually add search terms under Catalog -> Search Terms

  • The Magento LIKE search cannot find that which isn't there. For a particular search keyword to produce results, it must either appear in the attributes defined as quick search sources or be synonymed in Catalog => Search Terms. And the LIKE search also stumbles mightily on plurals of keywords, something better addressed by using Zend Lucene which is built into Magento, but in a fit of "Buh? What dat?", not used by Magento unless you buy a module to enable it. Oct 10, 2015 at 18:57

You can manually add search terms under Catalog -> Search Terms. Reindex and cache refresh to make sure you are seeing up to date data.
