[basex-talk] Thesaurus question

[Ron Katriel]

Hi,

Given this thesaurus entry

<thesaurus xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2007/xqftts/thesaurus";>
  <entry>
    <term>&amp;</term>
    <synonym>
      <term>and</term>
      <relationship>USE</relationship>
    </synonym>
  </entry>
</thesaurus>

I was expecting the following query to return true (file path omitted for 
clarify)

'Frontier Science and Technology Research Foundation, Inc.' contains text 
'Frontier Science &amp; Technology Research Foundation, Inc.' using thesaurus 
at "thesaurus.xml”

but it returns false. Switching the order of the term and synonym makes no 
difference.

I tried getting around this using a stop word file (which includes ‘and’, ‘&’, 
and '&amp;’, just in case) but it does not work either.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Ron
