Note: Additional information on how one-way and two-way search terms function.
One-Way: (iPod-> MP3, Music)
If a user searches on 'MP3' all products that contain the word 'iPod' will also be returned along with 'MP3' products.
If a user searches on 'iPod' only products labeled as 'iPod' will be returned, but not any 'MP3' or 'Music' products.
Two-Way: (Cyan <-> Blue)
All searches for 'Cyan' or 'Blue' return the same results since these two terms are two-way synonyms.
