Grant, I think Mathieu is hinting at his JIRA contribution (I looked at it briefly the other day, but haven't had the chance to really understand it).
Otis -- Sematext -- http://sematext.com/ -- Lucene - Solr - Nutch ----- Original Message ---- From: Mathieu Lecarme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: java-dev@lucene.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 5:47:40 AM Subject: an API for synonym in Lucene-core Why Lucen doesn't have a clean synonym API? WordNet contrib is not an answer, it provides an Interface for its own needs, and most of the world don't speak english. Compass provides a tool, just like Solr. Lucene is the framework for applications like Solr, Nutch or Compass, why don't backport low level features of this project? A synonym API should provide a TokenFilter, an abstract storage should map token -> similar tokens with weight, and a tools for expanding query. Openoffice dictionnary project can provides data in differents languages, with compatible licences, I presume.
