I am trying to figure out how to use the Lexicon to enable Synonym searches using both the Search & Advanced Search Assets.
e.g. If I have an article/page All about 'Personal Home Page' I would like to set up a Lexicon asset of Abbreviations so that a search for 'PHP' would return the article/page containing the words 'Personal Home Page'
If anyone has any experience using the Lexicon asset I would be grateful for any insights you may have.
It is my understanding that in order to get the synonym searching using the thesaurus, you need:
- Create a thesaurus asset
- Upload the correct XML content file (for synonyms, you must have a 'Synonym' relation, I believe, for abbreviations - 'Abbreviation' relation)
- When setting up your search page, point it to the thesaurus you want to use
The hardest bit here is getting the thesaurus contents right. Check out the 'Details' screen of a thesaurus asset to download an example XML file. You'll have to craft and import your own file. Thesaurus assets are blank by default.
Let someone correct me if I'm wrong, but 'Abbreviation' relation might only be used by the WYSIWYG to expand abbreviations, not by the search asset.
