Adrien Grand commented on LUCENE-8652:
--------------------------------------

+1 the approach makes sense to me

I'm wondering whether we could wrap impacts of the boosted synonyms to scale 
term frequencies based on the boost? (as a follow-up, this patch is already a 
great start in my opinion)

> The SynonymQuery tries to score multiple terms as if you had indexed them as 
> one term.
> This is good for "true" synonyms where each term should have the same 
> contribution to the final score but this doesn't handle the case where terms 
> have different weights. For scoring purpose it would be nice to be able to 
> assign a boost per term that we could multiply with the term's document 
> frequency in order to take into account the importance of the term within the 
> synonym list.
