I think the behavior you're observing may simply be a side-effect of a
misconfiguration of synonyms.txt. In the example you posted, the equivalent
terms
Hi Michael
Thanks for that I'll have a study later. It's just reminded me of the
expand option which I meant to have a look at.
Thanks

Hi Charlie
I was indexing at index time only. The synonyms/acronyms were coming from
the published journals xml files so I wasn't expecting to maintain them
myself. If it worked, I was expecting, hopefully, to update the synonyms
file automatically.
As I just explained to Bernd I'm finding that
Hi Bernd
Thanks for that. I think it is working, but I think unfortunately what I'm
trying to do is impossible/not logical. When I enter a term it goes off
and searches using all the matching acronyms, because I'm finding a term

The equivalent terms on the right-hand side of the `=>` operator in the
example you sent should be separated by a comma. You mention you already
tried only-comma-separated (e.g. one line: `SRN,Stroke Research Network`)
and that that yielded unexpected results as well. I would recommend
I'm wondering if you should be using these acronyms at index time, not
search time. It will make your index bigger and you'll have to re-index
to add new synonyms (as they may apply to old documents) but this could
be an occasional task, and in the meantime you could use query-time
synonyms
If you are using multiword synonyms, acronyms, ...
Your should escape the space within the multiwords.

SRN, Stroke\ Research\ Network
IGBP, isolated\ gastric\ bypass
