Why not add an extra column for 'site created synonym tags' and fill it at index time using server side code? Then just include the tag field in the search.

So the terms "java", "python" and "php" all get indexed as both their original word and the token "programming". Then a query including the token "programming" will match those. Oops, wait, except I think that synonym decleration above will NOT actually preserve the original eg "java" token too. We want both "java" and "programming" to be in the index, at the same term position, so it will still match on query 'java' too. I think the synonym filter should be able to do that, but now I'm confused. But if you can figure out how to do an index-time synonym that still preserves the original token at the same token position, and simply do NOT do a query time synonym expansion, that will do what you want. It's possible the synonym filter wont' do that, and it needs some java hacking. ________________________________________ From: solruser2010 [basement_add...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2010 5:33 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Re: own way synonyms a better example might be this: When someone searches on "programming" i want it to return results with java OR python OR php but I don't want a search for "java" to return documents with php programming,java,php,python -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/own-way-synonyms-tp1956755p1957124.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
