This feature allows you to specify synonyms, variations of words, common misspellings, etc. and allow you to map them to an equivalent word in the index. This can be very helpful if many users on your site are searching for names which are different to the ones you used on your website, but have the same meaning. For example, the word “question” could be made equivalent to “inquiry,enquiry,query,questions”, so that when a user searches for any of the aforementioned words, they would get the same results. A synonym definition has two fields:
You will need to re-index your website for any new synonyms to take effect. Note: When a word is synonymous with another word, it is implied that they are equivalent both ways. For example, if an entry for “cat” has a synonym “feline”, then “feline” is also considered the same as “cat”. You do not need to specify another synonym entry to define this. word=synonym1,synonym2,synonym3, etc... question=inquiry,enquiry,query
Note that you can only have single word synonyms, and not synonyms for phrases. Zoom will expect this text file to be in the same encoding or charset as specified on the "Languages" panel.
