FAQ
Just wanted to add this my original question:
FYI, The synonyms in my application are totally custom and not from English
dictionary...ie. "Global Leader in Finance" could also mean "Top Investment
Bank" or "Fortune 500 Finance company" etc etc.

Hi Mitu,
Though your approach would work I'd suggest you build a custom analyzer
instead. Perhaps that'd be a bettter approach.

Hi,

What is the best way to handle synonyms (phrases) using Lucene?
Especially,
when I need to execute queries like :a OR b OR c NOT d

How about adding a new field called "synonyms" to each document while
indexing? This field's value would have a list of all synonyms. It would
be
added to a document only when that document has any of the synonyms.

I would then execute an "OR" search query which would look for search
keyword in this field alongwith other fields.

Can this approach work well for any kind of query?

Please suggest.

Thanks.
