Hello,

I have been trying to configure the 8.3 text search capabilities using the 
documentation from the site from section 12 of 8.3 documentation.  I understand 
the basics but I am trying to set up a custom synonym dictionary so that I 
could have abbreviations be returned as a hit for searches on words that are 
part of the abbreviation.  

For instance if I have the abbreviation "HLA", I would want it to be hit for a 
search on any of the terms "high", "level", or "architecture" or any 
combination thereof.  Now from the documentation they have a sample synonym 
dictionary file that contains something like:

postgres pg
postgresql pg
postgre pg

and this will return 'pg' as the lexeme for any of those terms, however, what I 
want to do is go the other way, and have one term return hits for several 
terms, but I'm not sure If i can make this work with a synonym dictionary or 
not.   

Should I  be attempting this with a synonym dictionary or not, and if not, what 
approach should i use to accomplish this?  I have read through the 
documentation several times and attempted all the samples, but I may have 
missed an example of this or have failed to make the connection on how to 
accomplish this, so if it is merely a matter of my missing the proper 
reference, a pointer to that would be greatly appreciated as well.

Thanks,

Chris
