Thesaurus entries enable you to extend the scope of searches to include equivalents for the search terms that shoppers enter.
You can open the Thesaurus page from Search Tools on the application Home page. On the Thesaurus page, you create the synonyms that capture other ways of expressing queries relevant to your application. These entries provide mappings between words and phrases.
You can add two kinds of entries to your thesaurus:
A one-way thesaurus entry establishes an equivalence between words or phrases that applies in a single direction only. For example, you could define a one-way mapping so that all queries for "computer" would also return matches containing "laptop", but queries for "laptop" would not return results for "computer". You can add an unlimited number of synonyms to a one-way entry, and the application expands the query to search for each search term with the same one-way relationship.
On the Thesaurus page in Workbench, one-way thesaurus entries are specified in the following form:
search term --> synonym(1), synonym(2), ... synonym(n)
An equivalent thesaurus entry specifies lists or words or phrases that searches treat as synonymous. For example, an equivalent thesaurus entry might specify that the phrase "notebook" is interchangeable with the phrase "laptop".
On the Thesaurus page in Workbench, equivalent thesaurus entries are specified in the following form:
synonym(1), synonym(2), synonym(3), ... synonym(n)
