Jack, I am also using synonyms at query side, but so far i am able to use only single words to work, multi words is not working for me. I didn't want to use synonyms during indexing, to avoid re indexing.
Is there a way for solr to support multi words? Ex: John Cena, John, Cena Or Triple H, DX, tripleh, hhh.

In your latest example, you seem to be using string fields, which is somewhat different form the text synonyms we talk about in Solr. You can certainly have multiple string fields, or even a multi-valued string field to store variations on selected categories of terms. That works well when you have a well-defined number of categories. So, you can have a user query go against a combination of normal text fields and these category string fields. If that is sufficient for your application, great. -- Jack Krupansky -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Andres Garcia Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 6:57 PM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: RE: synonyms Thanks for your answers, now I have another cuestions,if I develop the filter to replacement the current synonym filter,I understand that this procces would be in time of the indexing because in time of the query search there are a lot problems knows. if so, how can I do for create my index file. For example: I have two synonyms "Nou cam", "Cataluña" for barcelona in the data base Opcion 1) In time of the indexing would create 2 records like this: <doc> <field>barcelona<field> <field>Camp Nou<field> ... <doc> and <doc> <field>barcelona<field> <field>Cataluña<field> ... <doc> Opcion 2) or only would create one record like this: <doc> <field>barcelona<field> <field>Camp Nou,Cataluña<field> ... <doc> If it create the opcion 2 can looking for by Camp Nou y by Cataluña but when I looking for by barcelona the Solr return 2 records and that is one error because barcelona is only one IF it create the opcion 2 , I have searching wiht wildcards for example *Camp Nou* o *Cataluña* y the solr would return one records, the same case if searching by barcelona solr would return one recors that is good , but i want to know if is the better option or solr have another caracteristic betters that can resolve this topic of one better way.
