A nicer way for Customers to find Stems for Synonyms

Hi,

 

I was working through a project and found an issue where a customer is finding it really had to set up synonyms by themselves. The problem is that they can't find what the stem is without having to download the index files and have Luke locally (which is a strech for some customers).

 

The use-case is:

  • We configured Synonyms for the customers
  • They want to self maintain it
  • There's no real way for them to find the stems
    • I tried to point them to a Query and simulate setting up an expression with Terms BUT it does not render all terms, so they can't find it.

 

Hope this makes sense.

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Hi Nuno

Agreed that is not the best user experience. It would be very nice with UI for the synonyms and we will take that into consideration for the DW10 UI.

Also I have learned from our talks that Lucene synonyms is not what your customer needs - they needs something else. Something like "add and replace thingie" to put on top of Lucene - I also have that one on the todo.
