I see two choices here. The first, which is the only one that I can reasonably be sure will work, is to do synonym expansion only at index time. The other is to put the fully expanded query into the elevate config. I do not know if this will actually work -- the situation may involve more complexity. Often synonyms are only done for one analysis chain, but if that's the case, they are usually done for the query side, not the index side. Therefore, if the elevate config will do it, the latter option above would be preferred. If you change your synonyms, you might need to also change your elevate config. Thanks, Shawn
