Could this be simulated through synonyms? Could you define "CD" as a synonym of "Compact Disc" or vice versa? I'm not sure if that would work, just brainstorming here...

Say we have a list of Acronyms in a database (CD, DVD, CPU) and also a list of their not so short names (Compact Disk, Digital Versitile Disk, Central Processing Unit) but they are not linked in any particular way (lost of items, some with full names, some using anronyms), is it posible for Solr to figure out CD is an Acronym of Compact Disk? I know CD could also mean Central Data, or anything that beings with C and D, but is there a way to tell solr to look for items that not only match CD, but have words next to each other that begin with C and D... Another example i can think of is IBM: It could be International Business Machines, or Irish Business Machines, or Irish Banking Machines... So, would that be posible? -- Tiernan O'Toole blog.lotas-smartman.net www.geekphotographer.com www.tiernanotoole.ie
