hi all,

i am confused a bit about how to use synonym filter configs. i am using solr
1.4.

default config is like :

for query analyzer:
        <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt"
ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>
for index analyzer:
        its commented.

while looking @ documentation deeply on
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters#head-2c461ac74b4ddd82e453dc68fcfc92da77358d46
*"**Keep in mind that while the SynonymFilter will happily work with
synonyms containing multiple words (ie: "**
sea biscuit, sea biscit, seabiscuit**") The recommended approach for dealing
with synonyms like this, is to expand the synonym when indexing. This is
because there are two potential issues that can arrise at query time**"*
*
*
considering this above recommendation i think following is the best option
for synonym filter
*  for query analyzer: *
        <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt"
ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/>
for index analyzer:
        <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt"
ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>

am i right?

what do you guys suggest?

thanks!
