Xapian devel - Oct 2012 - Synonyms of Abbreviations

Hello,

I am looking for a documentation or an example to use the synonym function.

I tried this

db.add_synonym("omega","xapain");

and this works by adding the flag FLAG_AUTO_SYNONYMS.

If i try to use the
db.add_synonym("omega","xapain is search engine ");

it fails why? Can xapian use synonym for Abbreviations like  MBA => Master
of business administration?

Perhaps you can try this:

MBA => Master of business administration
db.add_synonym("mba","master");
db.add_synonym("mba","business");
db.add_synonym("mba","administration");

And hope for the best ;)

When you use a stemmer, perhaps you have to write Zmaster, Z...
