Re: text search synonym dictionary anomaly with numbers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To answer my own question - my synonym dictionary was not be applied
to '1st' because '1st' is a numword, not an asciiword, and my synonym
dictionary was not mapped to numword. To map a dictionary token class:

ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION english
   ALTER MAPPING FOR numword WITH my_synonym_dictionary, simple;

The dictionary must already have been created with CREATE TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY
