Hi Sven, While I have no idea bout the example in LiA I can give you some quick pointers. if you add the synonyms at query time you can assign a boost factor to the added synonyms that would boost the matches to a particular term down. -> something in the interval [0,1] if you add the synonyms at index time you could add a payload to the added synonyms and use some payload aware query for searches. See http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/api/core/org/apache/lucene/search/payloads/package-summary.html
You could also index the content into two different fields on with and one without synonyms and set boost factors on the field. This case would be a little more complex and rather "dirty" but maybe its an option for you. simon On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 11:57 AM, Sven Fischer<i...@linux4tw.de> wrote: > Hi, > I implemented a synonym search by using the chapter 4.6's example from the > Lucene in Action book. > Now I want to extend the example in that way, that synonyms are boosted less > that the original word the user searched for.
