have a SOLR 4.10.2 core, and I am upgrading to 8.1.1. When I compare parsedQuery for a search 4.10 vs 8.1.1 I am seeing the query wrapped with SynonymQuery(Synonym( in 8.1.1. I think it may be because I replaced the deprecated SynonymFilterFactory with SynonymGraphFilterFactory. Is this a new feature of the SynonymGraphFilterFactory? How can I remove that (or should I?)? 4.10.2 "querystring":"IDX_Company:blue", "parsedquery":"(IDX_Company:b IDX_Company:bl IDX_Company:blu IDX_Company:blue)", ... 8.1.1 "querystring":"IDX_Company:blue", "parsedquery":"SynonymQuery(Synonym(IDX_Company:b IDX_Company:bl IDX_Company:blu IDX_Company:blue))", ...
