There is one more issue which faces a similar problem, the queryparser splits on whitespace and when the field being searched against is multi-word then search doesn't behave correctly.
But ideally these problems should not arise, I want to be a little more optimistic on this and see if there is a solution to these problems :) On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 11:18 AM, Jack Krupansky <j...@basetechnology.com>wrote: > Otis, this is precisely why nothing will get done any time soon on the > multi-term synonym issue - there isn't even common agreement that there is > a problem, let alone common agreement on the specifics of the problem, let > alone common agreement on a solution. > > Even though technically the Solr Query Parser is now separate from the > Lucene Query Parser, the synonym filter is still strictly Lucene. > Addressing the multi-term synonym feature requires enhancement to the > synonym filter, so without common agreement on the nature of the problem > (which I already outlined), the only path forward is for Solr to provide > its own synonym filter and leave the existing "Lucene" synonym filter > intact. > > That said, I don't expect general community agreement on a path forward > for multi-term synonyms any time soon. > > -- Jack Krupansky > > -----Original Message----- From: Robert Muir > Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2013 8:17 PM > To: dev@lucene.apache.org > Subject: Re: Fixing query-time multi-word synonym issue > > > On Thu, Jan 24, 2013 at 8:10 PM, Otis Gospodnetic > <otis.gospodne...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Funny, I expected everyone would jump on this thread considering so many >> people hit this multi-word synonym issue... >> >> > Probably because its not a synonyms problem: its just a bug in a > specific queryparser. > > If you dont use that queryparser, you dont care: if you want to fix > that one, well the only correct solution is obvious, fix the > queryparser not to split on whitespace. hacking other things around it > is no option at all :) > > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > dev-unsubscribe@lucene.apache.**org<dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org > > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > dev-unsubscribe@lucene.apache.**org<dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org > > -- Regards, Varun Thacker http://www.vthacker.in/
