Enabling the Search Thesaurus
The Search
Service allows you to create a thesaurus (or synonym list), load it
into the server, and enable thesaurus expansion for all user queries.
Thesaurus expansion allows a term or phrase in a user’s search to
be replaced with a set of custom related terms before the actual search
is performed. This feature improves search quality by handling unique,
obscure, or industry-specific terminology.
To access
the Search Results Manager you must have the following rights:
- Access Administration activity right
- Access Utilities activity right
- Access Search Results Manager activity right
- Click Administration.
- From the Select Utility drop-down
list, select Search Results Manager.
- Click the Thesaurus and Spell Correction page.
- Select Use the Thesaurus.
If you have not already done so, you must create the synonym
list in the database.
