I have been looking at synonym matching with htsearch and have been
customising the list of synonyms to fit my ideas. I modified the text file
common/synonym and ran htfuzzy to build a new synonym.db
I found that not only were the new synonyms that I had added being acted on,
but so were the old ones I had deleted! So I offer this tip to those using
synonym matching:
Delete the file common/synonym.db before you run htfuzzy synonyms.
It seems that htfuzzy *adds* to the database file, rather than re-writing it
as I assumed.
I want to use synonym matching purely for words with two or more 'correct'
spellings (eg colour & color,
medieval & mediaeval, etc.) of English words, and would like to hear from
anyone with an alternative list of such synonyms.
If anyone wants to see how I propose to handle mis-spellings, then go to
http://www.soton.ac.uk/ and try searching for "accomodation" or "libary".
