FAQ
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. Is there a way to do
it? If it is, I would like to get any help on how to implement that feature.

can anyone help please?


Thanks
Sven

    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.

    Hi,
    The first answer by Sven is more efficient and generaly used.

    f 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]
