synonym search using apache solr

Question

I have tried search using Apache SOLR. I have done with the PHP client code for to implement with apache solr. I have indexed using the function solrUpdate and got search results using the funcion solrQuery.

now i want to search using synonym search , i.e in previously I ve indexed the title as "money" then, I go to search keyword is "money" the results will came nicely. but i want to do with sysnonym search ("money" => "cash" or "currency").

Now i go to search with keyword "cash" no results will came? but i am expecting results which have only "money" will be returned.

What should i ve to do? my xml document format is "id" = 123 "name" = Money "description" = Some sample description.

any ideas suggestion most welcome.

Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

If "money", "cash" and "currency" are equivalent in your searches, they should be just separated with comma in your synonyms file: money, cash, currency.
