I have ngram-indexed 2 fields (columns in the database) and the third one is my full text field. Now my default text field is the full text field and while querying I use dismax handler and specify in it both the ngrammed field with certain boost values and also full text field with a certain boost value.
Problem for me if I dont use dismax and just search full text field(i.e. default field specified in schema) synonyms work correctly i.e. ca returns all results where california is there whereas if i use dismax ca is also searched in the ngrammed fields and return partial matches of the word ca and does not go at all in the synonym part.
I want to use synonyms in every case so how should I go about it?
Ensure you already correctly configured the “SynonymFilterFactory” filter in your ngram field’s query analyzer.
If still doesn’t work, the Solr admin’s analysis interface can give more details of the tokenize/filter procedures, through which can check if the Synonym part already works as expected.
