--------------------------------------

             Summary: Multi-word synonym filter
                 Key: SOLR-5379
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-5379
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: query parsers
            Reporter: Nguyen Manh Tien
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 4.5.1


While dealing with synonym at query time, solr failed to work with multi-word synonyms due to some reasons:
- First the lucene queryparser tokenizes user query by space so it split multi-word term into two terms before feeding to synonym filter, so synonym filter can't recognized multi-word term to do expansion
- Second, if synonym filter expand into multiple terms which contains multi-word synonym, The SolrQueryParseBase currently use MultiPhraseQuery to handle synonyms. But MultiPhraseQuery don't work with term have different number of words.

For the first one, we can extend quoted all multi-word synonym in user query so that lucene queryparser don't split it. There are a jira task related to this one https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2605.

For the second, we can replace MultiPhraseQuery by an appropriate BoleanQuery SHOULD which contains multiple PhraseQuery in case tokens stream have multi-word synonym.
