For example, "buscar" is used as an example, but it is not "stem-changing". Maybe change the title of the lesson by dropping the word "stem-changing".
The title of this lesson is "stem-changing" -car verbs but the example doesn't change stem

The title of this lesson is "stem-changing" -car verbs but the example doesn't change stem
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Conjugate Spanish stem-changing -car verbs (c > qu) in the present subjunctive (El Presente de Subjuntivo)"

Hola Michael T.
Thanks for pointing this out!
In Spanish, stem-changing usually refers to vowel changes (like pensar → piense), but it also includes spelling changes that occur in the stem for pronunciation reasons, such as -car → qu (buscar → busque).
So, while buscar doesn’t have a vowel change, it’s grouped here because all -car verbs follow this same spelling change pattern in the present subjunctive.
Feliz semana
