Hi,

Please explain that how the below mentioned synonyms patterns work in Solr
Search as there exists several seperators for synonym patterns:
1.

#Explicit mappings match any token sequence on the LHS of "=>"
#and replace with all alternatives on the RHS.  These types of mappings
#ignore the expand parameter in the schema.

#Examples:
i-pod, i pod => ipod, 
sea biscuit, sea biscit => seabiscuit


2.

#Equivalent synonyms may be separated with commas and give
#no explicit mapping.  In this case the mapping behavior will
#be taken from the expand parameter in the schema.  This allows
#the same synonym file to be used in different synonym handling strategies.

#Examples:
ipod, i-pod, i pod
foozball , foosball
universe , cosmos

3.
# If expand==true, "ipod, i-pod, i pod" is equivalent to the explicit
mapping:
ipod, i-pod, i pod => ipod, i-pod, i pod
# If expand==false, "ipod, i-pod, i pod" is equivalent to the explicit
mapping:
ipod, i-pod, i pod => ipod


4.
#multiple synonym mapping entries are merged.
foo => foo bar
foo => baz
#is equivalent to
foo => foo bar, baz


5. 
Explain the meaning of this pattern:

a\=>a => b\=>b
a\,a => b\,b

Questions:

A) Among the following what all characters works as delimeters :
Whitespace(" ") comma(",")  "=>"  "\"   "/"
B) Also, please let us know whether there exists certain other patterns
apart from the above mentioned ones.
C) In  the pattern : ipod, i-pod, i pod 
   Here how we will determine that "i pod" has to be treated as a single
word though it contains Whitespace.
