I've not encountered the !ENTITY syntax or used more than one synonym file. I'll have to take your word for it that this works. When you update a config resource, you must reload or restart for it to take effect. If the resource is used in index analysis, you must reindex after reloading. Resources used in query analysis will take effect immediately. With SolrCloud, you should reload the entire collection (with the Collections API), not just a core (with the CoreAdmin API). I don't know what you mean by "floating results" above. Thanks, Shawn
