Well, that's one of the areas where Solr synonym support breaks down. The LucidWorks Search query parser has a proprietary solution for that problem, but it won't help you with bare Solr. Some people have used shingles.

In short, for query-time synonym phrases your best bet is to parse the query at the application level and generate a Solr query that has the synonyms pre-expanded.

Application preprocessing could be as simple as scanning for the synonym phrases and then adding "OR" terms for the synonym phrases.

I have a synonyms file as like that:

cart; shopping cart; market trolley

When I analyse my query I see that when I search cart these becomes
synonyms:


cart, shopping, market, trolley

so cart is synonym with shopping. How should I define my synonyms.txt file
that it will understand that cart is synonym to "shopping cart"?
