In the Administration Options menu, go to Search Workbench > Customizations > Term Dictionaries.
Click New Dictionary.
Enter a name (required) and description (optional) for the new dictionary.
Enter a Dictionary Adapter Name (optional). If used, when the dictionary is loaded, it is loaded under this adaptor name. The adaptor can be selectively applied in a query by using the
adaptorNametext processing option; see the Dictionary Adaptors setting in the online help for Text Processing Option Sets.Select the dictionary’s language.
For the Load Mode, select one of the following:
Modify—ATG Search assesses the terms and term relationships of your new dictionary and automatically attempts to correct any data that conflicts with the ATG Search’s core dictionary.
Override—The terms and term relationships of your new dictionary override those in the ATG Search’s core dictionary.
Reject—ATG Search rejects any data in your new dictionary that conflicts with the ATG Search’s core dictionary.
Note: For data on rejected terms, enabling logging as described in Appendix B: Logging and search the response XML data for the TermLoad command.
Enter the maximum term expansion.
When dictionary terms are organized hierarchically, you can optionally indicate that this hierarchy implies term expansion. In other words, if a child term is given a positive value for the propagate attribute, it means that the child term and its synonyms propagate up to become part of the term expansion of the parent term.
Set the maximum term expansion to 0 to disable term expansion. If you set this value to a number larger than the number of levels in your dictionary, all terms are fully expanded. Note that very large expansion sets can slow down search as well as worsen results.
Click Create.
To add a term, term association, or synonym to a dictionary, see Managing Terms in this chapter.
