ngram synonyms & dismax together

["Husain, Yavar" <yh...@firstam.com>]

I have ngram-indexed 2 fields (columns in the database) and the third one is my full text field. Now my default text field is the full text field and while querying I use dismax handler and specify in it both the ngrammed field with certain boost values and also full text field with a certain boost value. 

Problem for me if I dont use dismax and just search full text field(i.e. default field specified in schema) synonyms work correctly i.e. ca returns all results where california is there whereas if i use dismax ca is also searched in the ngrammed fields and return partial matches of the word ca and does not go at all in the synonym part.

I want to use synonyms in every case so how should I go about it?

Where are synonyms in your ngrammed-field filter chain? It would help
if you showed the two field definitions.

Try using the admin/analysis page to see each step in the transformation,
be sure to check the verbose checkbox.

And examples of the input, and results (&debugQuery=on) would also be
useful.
