I created a "JustSynonyms" field type that is configured to use the
WhiteSpaceTokenizer and the SynonymFilterFactory.
I think I might have cracked it:
In my synonyms.txt I now have:
Yellow, Buttermilk, Mustard, Pineapple, Straw, Sunshine
Red, Cranberry, Crimson, Dark Red, Strawberry, Scarlet
...
Without using the "=>" symbol and setting "expand = true" on the
SynonymFilter I now get buttermilk, mustard etc. when I search on "Yellow".
Many thanks for your reply
