Dawid Weiss updated LUCENE-1622: -------------------------------- Attachment: synonyms.patch Token filter implementing synonyms. Java 1.5 is required to compile it (I left generics for clarity; if folks really need 1.4 compatibility they can be easily removed of course). > Multi-word synonym filter (synonym expansion at indexing time). > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1622 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1622 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: contrib/* > Reporter: Dawid Weiss > Priority: Minor > Attachments: synonyms.patch > > > It would be useful to have a filter that provides support for indexing-time > synonym expansion, especially for multi-word synonyms (with multi-word > matching for original tokens). > The problem is not trivial, as observed on the mailing list. The problems I > was able to identify (mentioned in the unit tests as well): > - if multi-word synonyms are indexed together with the original token stream > (at overlapping positions), then a query for a partial synonym sequence > (e.g., "big" in the synonym "big apple" for "new york city") causes the > document to match; > - there are problems with highlighting the original document when synonym is > matched (see unit tests for an example), > - if the synonym is of different length than the original sequence of tokens > to be matched, then phrase queries spanning the synonym and the original > sequence boundary won't be found. Example "big apple" synonym for "new york > city". A phrase query "big apple restaurants" won't match "new york city > restaurants". > I am posting the patch that implements phrase synonyms as a token filter. > This is not necessarily intended for immediate inclusion, but may provide a > basis for many people to experiment and adjust to their own scenarios. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
