Hi, I was faced with the same issues reguarding multiwords synonyms Let's say a synonyms list like:
club, bar, night cabaret Now if we have a document containing "club", with the default synonyms filter behaviour with expand=true, we will end up in the lucene index with a document containing "club|bar|night cabaret". So if the user search for "night", the query-time will search for "night" in the index and will match our document since it had been "enriched" @ index-time, and it really contains the token "night". The only valid solution I've founded was to create a field-type exclusively used for synonyms search where: @IndexTime <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false" /> @QueryTime <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false" /> And with a customised synonyms file that looks like: SYN_ID_1, club, bar, night cabaret So for our document containing "club", the synonym filter at index time with expand=false will replace every matching token/expression in the document with the SYN_ID_1. And at query time, when an user search for "night", since "night" is not alone in synonyms definition, it will not be matched, even by "normal" search, because every document containing "club" or "bar" would have been "enriched" with "SYN_ID_1" and NOT with "club|bar|night cabaret", so the final indexed document will not contains isolated token from synonyms expression that risks to be matched later without notice. In order to match our document containing "club", the user HAVE TO type the entire expression "night cabaret", and not only part of the expression. Of course, as I said before, this field was exclusively used for synonym matching, so it requires another field for normal full-text-stemmed search to add normal results, this approach give us the opportunity to setup Boosting separately on full-text-stemmed search VS synonyms search, let's say : "title_stem":"club"^100 OR "title_syns":"club"^10 I hope to have been clear, even if I dont believe to.. Fact is this approach have fixed your problem, since we didn't what synonym matching if the user only types part of synonymic expression.

Searches for single words that are part of a multi-word synonym seem to be affected by the synonyms, when they should not. Anyone else experience this? If not, would you mind explaining your config and the format of your synonyms.txt file? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/solr-synonyms-behaviour-tp15051211p18660135.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
