The Synonyms tab contains information on synonyms for refinement values. A synonym is a term that will be used in the refinement in place of other terms that mean similar things. For example, a synonym named "red" could be defined for a color refinement such that it would match colors named "brick", "mahogany", "barn", and others. "Red" would be included in the refinement in place of "brick", "mahogany", "barn", and its other values. If "red" is selected in the refinement, then all products with colors of "brick", "mahogany", "barn", and its other values will be shown as matches for the refinement.
Primary Value: This text entry field contains the text for the value of a new synonym. This value is the value that will appear in the refinement.
Create Synonym: This button will create a new synonym with whatever name is entered in the "Primary Value" text field. The new synonym will appear in the "Synonym Records" list.
Synonym Records: This is the list of synonyms that have been created for this refinement. A synonym may be edited by selecting its primary value, or the "Edit" icon. A synonym may be deleted by selecting the "Delete" icon.
