Yes, I realize a really good synonym list would be very specific to the site.
I was wanting to start with some basic English words or even plurals that are spelled differently. I realize these are not really synonyms but the synonym.txt file is an expedient way of expanding results. ie baby, babies Our application is for clients; however, clients may put in specific medical terms. Those will however generate results as our indexed data tends to have specific medical terminology indexed. Cephalgia would be indexed for a document but it may not have headaches. headaches, cephalgia [cid:bc5784b8-2faa-4306-ab7e-12ffb4c43a4f] Matthew Castrigno IHT Developer II St. Luke’s Health System • 208-859-4276 • castr...@slhs.org<mailto:xxxxx...@slhs.org> ________________________________ From: Walter Underwood <wun...@wunderwood.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2023 11:44 AM To: users@solr.apache.org <users@solr.apache.org> Cc: Matthew Castrigno <castr...@slhs.org> Subject: Re: synonym file Sets of synonyms are almost always domain-specific.
