The only method i can think of is, as you mention, define a second field containing the exact match without synonym expansion.
In that case you can just put a larger boost value for matches on that field to rank it higher. Just sort score desc and check debugQuery output before and after. > Hello, > Is there a way to boost the result that is an exact match as oppose to > synonym match when using query time synonyms? > Given the query John Smith and synonyms > Jonathan,Jonathan,John,Jon,Nat,Nathan > > I'd like result containing John Smith to be ranked higher then Jonathan > Smith. > My thinking was to do it by defining 2 fields: 1 with query time synonyms > and 1 without and sort by a function query of a non-synonym field.
