Field specific synonyms

[Nikhil Chhaochharia <ni...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am using the 'text' fieldType from the sample schema.xml of Solr.

I have multiple fields which are of 'text' type but I want to use separate synonym files for each of the fields.  For example, SynonymFilter should use synonym_abcd.txt for the field named 'abcd' and synonym_xyz.txt for the field named 'xyz'.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?  I am using the latest nightly build of Solr.

Thanks,
Nikhil

I believe the answer is you will need to have a different field type  
for each.  Just copy the text field type and name it text-abcd, etc.  
with each one configured to use the synonym file you want.

Make a different text field (e.g. text1, text2, text3) for each one.
Use the original text field as a template (just change the name and
the synonym file).
