Re: multi-word synonyms with multiple matches

You haven't given us the full details on how you are using the 
SynonymFilterFactory ("expand" true or false?) but in general: yes the 
SynonymFilter finds the longest match it can.

if every svp is also a vp, then being explict in your synonyms (when doing 
index time expansion) should work...

vp,vice president
svp,senior vice president=>vp,svp,senior vice president

Sorry - doing expansion at index time:
<filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="title_synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>

That worked - thanks!
