One of the uses of synonyms is to replace a mis-spelled query term with a correctly spelled value.
The "2 sided" synonym file format allows you to control which values "survive" into the actual query. lawyer, attorney, ambulance chaser, atorney, lowyor => lawyer, attorney I am not aware, however, of any integration between synonym processing and a spellcheck dictionary. Makes sense, though. But I think additional metadata would be required, per dictionary entry, to govern synonym processing. Thus, building the dictionary would not be a transparent/automatic process. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Filter+Descriptions#FilterDescriptions-SynonymFilter -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Yacyshyn [mailto:ryan.yacys...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2015 3:28 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Spell checking the synonym list? Hi all, I'm wondering if it's possible to have spell checking performed on terms in the synonym list? For example, let's say I have documents with the word "lawyer" in them and I add "lawyer, attorney" in the synonyms.txt file. Then a query is made for the word "atorney". Is there any way to provide spell checking on this?
