I'm using query time synonyms. I have more fields in my index though. This is just an example or sample of data from my index. Yes, we don't have millions of documents. Could be around 300,000 and might increase in future. The reason i'm using query time synonyms is because of the nature of my data. I can't re-index the data everytime i add or remove a synonym. But for this particular requirement is it best to have index time synonyms because of the multi-word synonym nature. Again if i add more cities list to the synonym file, I can't be re-indexing all the data over and over again.
