similarity

Hi;

I have n documents and want to find common words that are included in these documents. For example I want to say (n-3) documents include the word "web".

Certainly I can do this by basic data structures but there maybe efficient algorithm or a way to handle same words with different suffix. Is there any algorithm for such purposes?

I am unfamiliar with datamining world. In general manner is there a term used for efforts of finding similarities between different documents? If there is then I will make my research easily.

Thanks.
