Just replying for others in the future. The answer to this is to do
synonyms at index time, not at query time.

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
