One thread is: http://www.nabble.com/synonyms-td16284520.html Based on my reading of that thread, I believe that the issue raised there is the same as the one I just raised, but the original post was not entirely clear and perhaps easy to misunderstand. Another thread is: http://www.nabble.com/stemming-the-synonyms-to16945953.html#a16945953 > A recently added feature is that when configuring SynonymFilterFactory > you can give it the name of a TokenizerFactory to use when parsing the > synonym file.

There probably needs to be a chain of tokenizers, because in the German language compound words need to be split before stemming. I will take a stab at writing the TokenizerFactory that chains them. Should not be too difficult. Best regards - Christian
