Hi Eswar, Thanks for the update.
I have gone through the below link provided by you and what I understood from it is, we need to have all possible synonyms in a text file. This file need to be given as input for "SynonymFilterFactory" to work. If my understanding is right then the approach may not suit my requirement. Reason is I need to find synonyms of all the keywords in category description and store those synonyms in the above said input file. The file may be too big. Let me know if my understanding is wrong. Thanks, Kishore Veleti A.V.K. -----Original Message----- From: Eswar K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 11:22 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: Finding all possible synonyms for a word Kishore, Solr has a SynonymFilterFactory which might be off use to you ( http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#head-2c461ac74b4ddd82e453dc68fcfc92da77358d46) Regards, Eswar On Nov 18, 2007 10:39 PM, Kishore AVK.
