I think maybe you mean synonym file, rather than the schema? I doubt that the number of lines matters all that much, though undoubtedly some. I expect that Solr loads that synonym file into some kind of hash map, rather than searching it linearly -- though I have not looked at the code for that. > I replace allergy during the index with doctors , So it shouldn't be part of > the document ? Yes indeed, doctors would be in the index, and would give you a hit on that document when searched. But because your synonym file specifies replacement, that means that allergy is *NOT* part of the index, hence, when you searched on allergy, you got no results. As far as synonym expansion being a "huge hit", no, not really, I think. Besides, if you are not getting what you want or need, speed becomes pretty much irrelevant. We did some performance testing: modest single server (i.e., a laptop running Windows XP with only 2GB total memory available), pretty much configured "out of the box" with jetty, except that we added waffle authentication. The data was names, addresses and the like (not text) -- 7+ million rows, with considerable synonym expansion: 200 first name synonyms, 433 last name synonyms, expanded at both index time and search time. We then did a search test driven from those same synonyms files, by randomly picking out a name from the first and last name list, the idea being that most likely names did have some synonyms. Under Solr 3.1, once the OS file system cache got some entries in there, running with 8 concurrent client search threads sending HTTP search requests (done in perl) we averaged about .50 seconds per request, or over 55,000 searches per hour.
