SOLR 8.1.1 SynonymQuery(Synonym in parsedQuery

["Hodder, Rick" <RH...@navg.com>]

 have a SOLR 4.10.2 core, and I am upgrading to 8.1.1.
When I compare parsedQuery for a search 4.10 vs 8.1.1 I am seeing the query wrapped with SynonymQuery(Synonym( in 8.1.1.
I think it may be because I replaced the deprecated SynonymFilterFactory with SynonymGraphFilterFactory.
Is this a new feature of the SynonymGraphFilterFactory? How can I remove that (or should I?)?
4.10.2
"querystring":"IDX_Company:blue",
    "parsedquery":"(IDX_Company:b IDX_Company:bl IDX_Company:blu IDX_Company:blue)",
...
8.1.1
"querystring":"IDX_Company:blue",
    "parsedquery":"SynonymQuery(Synonym(IDX_Company:b IDX_Company:bl IDX_Company:blu IDX_Company:blue))",
...
Here's the field def:
<field name="Company" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
<field name="IDX_Company" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true" />
<copyField source="Company" dest="IDX_Company"/>
Here is the definition of text_general I am using in schema.xml
