Using synonyms with Lucene without WordPress

[Larry Hendrix <la...@wisc.edu>]

Does anyone know of any classes available that allow you to define and use your own synonyms when searching with Lucene? I read some about WordPress but it seems those synonyms are predefined English words. The application I am working with searches for the names of contacts and companies. I would like for the user to be able to set "Dan" as a synonym for "Daniel" or "BOA" for "Bank of America" ...etc

Larry, you should look at the SynonymFilter in Lucene Contrib Analysis.
