: is it good practice, common, or even possible to put symbols in my list of : synonyms?
it entirely depends on your usecases, and wether you want words with those symbols to have synonyms. : I'm having trouble indexing and searching for "A&E", with it being split on : the &. that sounds like you are using an analayzer that doesn't do what you want -- i'm guessing you should pick a differnet tokenizer, but the problem may also be if/how you are using WordDelimiterFilter -Hoss
