I'm trying to set up some basic synonyms. The one I've been working on is:
us, usa, united states
My understanding is that adding that to the synonym file will allow
users to search for US, and get back documents containing usa or united
states. Ditto for if a user puts in usa or united states.
Unfortunately, with this in place, when I do a search, I get the results
for items that contain all three of the words - it's doing an AND of the
synonyms rather than an OR.
If I turn on debugging, this is indeed what I see (plus some stemming):
(+DisjunctionMaxQuery(((westCite:us westCite:usa westCite:unit) |
(text:us text:usa text:unit) | (docketNumber:us docketNumber:usa
docketNumber:unit) | ((status:us status:usa status:unit)^1.25) |
(court:us court:usa court:unit) | (lexisCite:us lexisCite:usa
lexisCite:unit) | ((caseNumber:us caseNumber:usa caseNumber:unit)^1.25)
| ((caseName:us caseName:usa caseName:unit)^1.5))))/no_coord
Am I doing something wrong to cause this? My defaultOperator is set to
AND, but I'd expect the synonym filter to understand that.
Any help?
Thanks,
Mike
