Joshua Edwards updated SOLR-6408:
---------------------------------
Attachment: numerical_synonyms.patch
Attaching a patch that works for whole numbers. Two filters work in tandem to
make sure that numbers become synonymous whether they are written in text or
numbers. The filter that goes from number to text is able to handle floating
point numbers.
Currently, "and" is treated as non-numeric. Ie, if someone types "three
hundred and sixty" this will be treated as two distinct numbers. I'm not sure
what the best way of handling that is right now. Grammatically, "three hundred
and sixty" is two numbers, as "and" is only supposed to be used to add the
decimal part of a number, but that doesn't mean people regularly use it anyway.

> I would like to be able to have numbers be synonymous with their textual
> versions so that the system can match these better. Additionally, when
> parsing tokens, I would like the multiple tokens that represent a single
> entity to be combined so that they will match correctly. For example, if a
> document has the phrase "three sixty", then I would like that to match if a
> user types 360, or "three hundred sixty," but not if the user searches for
> "three" or "sixty." I would also like different ways of writing a number to
> be treated synonymously with these. As an example, I would like to be able
> to search for "ten thousand," "10,000," or "10000" and get the same results.
